Lyrics
No, no, she can't take your mind and leave
I know it's just another trick she's got up her sleeve
I can't believe that she really wants you to die
After all, it's more than enough to pay for your lie
Chorus (note 1)
Wait a minute, watch what you're doing with your time
All the endless ruins of the past must stay behind, yeah
Well, can't you see that you're killing each other's soul
You're both out in the streets and you got no place to go
Your constant battles are getting to be a bore
So go somewhere else and continue your cream puff war
The other day they waited
The sky was dark and faded (note 1)
Solemnly they stated
He has to die
You know he has to die
And all the children learning
From books that they were burning
Every leaf was turning
To watch him die
You know he has to die
The summer sun looked down on him
His mother could but frown on him
And all the others sound on him
But it doesn't seem to matter
And when the day had ended
With rainbow colours blended
His mind remained unbended
He had to die
You know he had to die
You know he had to die
If only I could be less blind
If only I knew what to find
Everywhere and all of the time
It's bending my mindConfusion's Prince is at my door
The crown I wear is the one he wore
He's here to bring me down some more
And bend my mindThe friendly stranger call my name
He only wants me for his game
But it don't matter just the same
I'll bend his mindI'll wave my flags into the sun
I've fought my wars and now they're won
And I didn't need nobody's gun
I bent their minds
