We went to see the fall of Rome, I thought it would please us |
|
To watch how the mighty go in a blaze of hubris |
|
But I just stood there hypnotised by all the beautiful madness |
|
Face into the wind, boys, face into the wind |
|
Last night I dreamed that we built a fire in a wild garden |
|
We took all the holy books and we burned them |
|
All those pages to ashes, every last one of them |
|
Face into the wind, boys, face into the wind |
|
Everything under the sun shall be harnessed |
|
Forced to push and pull and endure like unwilling horses |
|
All for the ceaseless construction of Man's Great Purpose |
|
Face into the wind, boys, face into the wind |
|
And in the Market Square they're still stacking the shelves |
|
I'm screaming: I don't want anything, I don't need anything |
|
I don't want anything, I don't need anything |
