It was a day or so ago
I saw him run into the night
And on his face, more than a trace
Of wild fear in the eye
He was haunted by a tragic dream
Of people in death machines
And he did not know which side he was on
And he hated being in between oh
Chorus:
Bombs away, bombs away
Sign of the times -- watch where you`re going
What will you do -- see you if I free you
Into the night -- feel the fear
Do you know your left from your right?
He`s tired of the lies
He`s tired of the truth
They never give him what they say
He`s tired of the fight
He`s tired of the truce
The blackmail of judgement day
He believes in a magic wave
That rolls on the sea of time
That can touch every single human soul
If they could recognize it when it came -- too late
Chorus
Ye hum oh ye hum we mame, bathini? ngingenzani?
(What do they say? What can I do?)
Into the night -- feel the fear
It`s so near -- look over your shoulder
Turn to the left -- turn to the right
At any time it can appear
