Barry Adamson – Civilization Lyrics

Artist: Barry Adamson
Song: Civilization

I’m up above the city
And i’m down beneath the stars
I must have broke the heart strings
Of a thousand bass guitars

I’ve wandered through a wasteland
That was passing for a glimpse of heaven’s door
And i must have met a millionfold
Of humans in disguise

And now they aim a loaded pistol
Right between the eyes
And i count the cost of freedom
And i realize that heaven is no more

Bring me
Civilization
Trample on the ones
Who would destroy the very nation

That turned me into what i am
An effigy of the bеautiful and damned
I’ll show
No hesitation

To bring beforе a darkened world
The sweetest revelation
Skip a hundred light years
As i hurry home to meet my baby’s needs

I’m not a monk
I live in the city
Today i strolled into the town
Everyone’s so pretty

But then shots rang out and i hit the ground
Before they came and took my piece away
They beat me and i said enough
Okay, i’ll do the time

It’s easy and it’s obvious
What’s yours just isn’t mine
Now i sit in wonderland still wondering
How i got here all the same

Bring me
Civilization
To take away the pain and hurt
And anger and frustration

That falls like rubber nipples from the trees
Where once i danced upon the leaves
I’ll show
No remonstration

Whatever you decide my fate to be
No indignation
As long as i can beat the rush
And make it home to meet my baby’s needs

What is a man
If he ain’t got a soul
I’m doing all i can
Yeah, to make this house a home

But i’m up above the city
And i’m down beneath the stars
My lawyer says there’s no parole
Behind these prison bars

The days they pass so slowly
That i killed a man who wanted me to die
A single pack of cigarettes
Is all you need to breathe

You get so g#dd#mned used to it
You’ll find it hard to leave
Blood in, blood out, stick with the gang
And you’ll 〈.?.〉

Bring me
Civilization
’cause now i am the one
Who could destroy the very nation

That turned me into what i am
An effigy of the beautiful and damned
I’ll show
No hesitation

To make the world a darker place
Without a reservation
When all i simply tried to do
Was hurry home to meet my baby’s needs
