Child of Vision lyrics

Well, who do you think you're foolin'?

You say you're havin' fun,

But you're busy going nowhere,

Just lying in the sun.

You tried to be a hero,

commit the perfect crime

but the dollar got you dancing

and you're running out of time.

You're messin' up the water

You're rolling in the wine

You're poisoning your body

You're poisoning your mind

You gave me Coca-Cola

You just said it tasted good

Then you watch the television

And to tell that just you should

How can you live in this way?

(Why do you think it's so strange?)

You must have something to say

(You tell me why should I change)

There must be more to this life.

It's time we did something right.

Child of Vision, won't you listen?

Find yourself a new ambition.

I've heard it all before

You're saying nothing new

I thought I saw a rainbow

But I guess it wasn't true

You cannot make me listen

I cannot make you hear

So you find your way to heaven,

And I'll meet you when you're there.

How can you live in this way?

(Why do you think it's so strange?)

You must have something to say

(You tell me why should I change)

We have no reason to fight,

cos we both know that we're right.

Child of Vision, won't you listen?

Find yourself a new ambition.
