When the World Was Woken

(Les Holroyd)
we can't all be right
we can't all be wrong
it's a long journey
we travel on
gypsies of the night
riders of the storm
though it's heartbreaking
we must go on
wrong place
wrong face
somewhere on the road
keep playing
and saying
welcome to the show
those who laugh the first
must cry later they say
as the stage curtain
brings on the girls
and they surely do well
for the politicians sell them
on t.v. today
makes me uncertain
of who runs the world
wrong place
wrong fac
e
somewhere on the road
keep playing
and saying
welcome to the show
my friends, all the trends
that have gone
are as one
in the minds of today
with their eyes open
they can't see the signs
and the moment belongs
to the video songs
leading now
here at all
and the fools talking
the blind lead the blind
wrong place
wrong face
somewhere on the road
keep playing
and saying
welcome to the show
we started something
now we can't get away from it all
