Текст песни Paradise City - Danny Blu

When I was young
I wasn′t your average kind of kid
Apparently, I asked too many questions
All I wanted was to fit in
Mama told me I should try to make some friends
But I just couldn't play with the lambs
Or follow the sheep
All running to get to the top of the heap
′Cause I could see the demons
I used to hear 'em screaming
Once they've got you
There is no going back
Rejoice and relax
You can never go back
All my heroes went insane
Looks like I′ll end up the same
There′s no hope for the free in paradise city
But it sure looks pretty to me
Every day, there's something new
That makes me sick
Apparently, I′m just too realistic
And my lack of devotion's a sin
Every day, the sky′s a different shade of gray
Waking up in a world
That's only concerned with "how will you pay?"
Not "are you okay?"
I′m still seeing demons
I can feel 'em breathing
Once they get you
There is no going back
You can never go back
You can never go back
All my heroes went insane
Looks like I'll end up the same
There′s no hope for the free in paradise city
But it sure looks pretty to me
("And this world has room for everyone
And the good Earth is rich and can provide for everyone
The way of life can be free and beautiful
But we have lost the way
Greed has poisoned men′s souls
Has barricaded the world with hate
Has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed
We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in
Machinery that gives us abundance has left us in want
Our knowledge has made us cynical
Our cleverness, hard and unkind
We think too much and feel too little")
Oh, what a world, hallelujah
Oh, what a world, hallelujah
Oh, what a world, hallelujah
Oh, what a world, hallelujah
Oh, what a world, hallelujah
Oh, what a world, hallelujah
Oh, what a world, hallelujah
Oh, what a world, hallelujah
Oh, what a world, hallelujah
All my heroes went insane
Looks like I'll end up the same
There′s no hope for the free in paradise city
But it sure looks pretty to me
All my heroes went insane
Looks like I'll end up the same
There′s no hope for the free in paradise city
But it sure looks pretty to me
All my heroes went insane
(Oh, what a world, hallelujah)
(Oh, what a world, hallelujah)
I'll end up the same
(Oh, what a world, hallelujah)
(Oh, what a world, hallelujah)
