The Singer walks on stage
Singing songs of hate and love
The songs he’s living for

His Longtime diehard fans
They don’t really care
They only want to hear
The classic catalogue
Totally unaware that his way
Of looking forward and ahead
Is the reason they’re all there

Stop the process
Back to good ol’ days to come
So let’s throw a wooden shoe
How far back is enough
Would stone age do?

So he’s feeding them a bone
Picking up the phone
Calling to the past

Big smiles everywhere
Palms in the air
It’s truly a blast
But you know it won’t last
Because soon he’s
Back to his craft

I ain’t saying that we should tear down
The hailing statues
Bring them to ground
For every new dictator in town
No I say nothing at all

Nothing at all

Ain’t it sad these people running back and forth
Spending half their given days
Longing for the one before

I ain’t saying that we should tear down
The hailing statues
Bring them to ground
For every new commander in town
No I say nothing at all
