YOU UNDERSTAND

          YYou understand why I can’t pretend

          Nothing has happened

          When it all has burnt in the flame

          You understand why I won’t shake your hand

          I don’t believe in

          The phony phrases that you proclaim

          Intolerance of the fortunate

          Just gives me tossing and turning

          Till I wake  again

          So afraid that I’ll go insane

                   You feel no pleasure, only pain  (lose your soul)

                   Executive is their command  (drop your voice)

                   Come on down and do it

                             The best you can        ohoohoh  aeyeaeyeah

          You understand why I won’t play your game

          It’s too destructive

          And it’s hard to see where it’ll end

          You understand I choose my own fate

          And I still trust the Lord

          I still speak without restraint

          Obedience of the desperate

          Looks so exciting

          But every one of them have cursed your name

          Killing you will be no shame

                   You feel no pleasure, only pain  (lose your soul)

                   Executive is their command  (drop your voice)

                   Come on down and do it

                    The best you can       ohoohoh  aeyeaeyeah

(M. Petrak)
