Red Hearts

Is there a country I can sleep in
Where the air is safe for breathing
And I can't feel the tension in my skin?
Well the city of love is filled with guns
And revolution's on their tongues
Give me a pike I'll settle in
And the red heart of love
Becomes the red heart of anger
And the sons and daughters sing and cry
A song that's like a lullaby
That puts to sleep true rest
Keeps you turning round at night
Until you're numb inside
Until you're numb inside

Oh Oh Oh Oh
Is your red heart alive?

When the doom comes round, comes round, comes round
At best it'll take your life
When you hear this sound, this sound, this sound
Better check your red heart's alive

Is there a country I can be in
Where the wisdom isn't bleeding through
The hands of a sage who once knew truth
A case of yuppies seeking gold
In Eastern wisdom that's foretold
But they just cut the horn and leave the beast to die
Then they take it back to metal tribes
A pillar of cash upon an empty life
They pray and pray and hope and pray
That wisdom might just come our way
By sucking on a carcass forgetting
That water fed its life

Oh Oh Oh Oh
Is your red heart dry?

When the doom comes round, comes round, comes round
At best it'll take your life
When you hear this sound, this sound, this sound
Better check your red heart's alive

Yea your red heart's alive

When the doom comes round, comes round, comes round
At best it'll take your life
When you hear this sound, this sound, this sound
Better check that your red heart's alive
Oh when the doom comes round, comes round, comes round
At best it'll take your life
When you hear this sound, this sound, this sound
Better check your red heart's alive
