Jim Capaldi - Living On A Marble
текст песни

1984 might be a good year
But it won't be so good for you and me
They've already got us surrounded
There's nothin' but disharmony

You don't realize they got you categorized
So subtle it can't be detected
They got a chain around your brain and you might as well be lame
It's too late you're already infected, ha

Universal love can be a good thing
If everybody stays on their own soil
It's when everybody tries to get together
That's when the blood begins to boil

Birds of a feather will always flock together
No matter what the situation
But when they tried to build the Tower of Babel
It turned out to be God's damnation
It turned out to be God's damnation
It turned out to be God's damnation, hey

Though a man has walked in space
Sent a rocket up to the moon
We're still no nearer to the stars
In fact we're running out of room

Destruction is a black mushroom
(Mushroom)
Growing out of politician's hands
(Oh yeah, yeah)

This government speaks about freedom
(Freedom)
But they bring nothing but destruction to the land
(Ow)

Absolute power corrupts absolutely
(Yeah)
We need decentralization
(What's that supposed to mean?)

Cut down the power and you'll cut down the size
(That's right)
That's our only salvation, whoa

Though a man has walked in space
Sent a rocket up to the moon
We're still no nearer to the stars
In fact we're running out of room

We're living on a marble, we're living on a marble
There go your feet, there go your knees
There go your hips, there go your waist
There go your elbows, your shoulders
There goes your heartbeat
