Don Quixote's Lullaby Songtext
von David Massengill

When I went off the change the world
I thought that this old world would come around
But now I see that all my hopes and dreams
To topple down regimes
Were like a king without a crown
But some day and not so far away
The headlines all will say
We turned the world upside down
Who will carry on?
Who will sing the freedom song?
When I lay down?
Who will raise the freedom crown?
When I went off to change the world
I never thought the world would dare change me
For I was young and thought I′d never die
Or need an alibi
I flew high just as I pleased
Black and white
We'd stay up half the night
To argue wrong from right


And I hold dear the memory
Who will carry on?
Who will sing the freedom song?
Who will carry on?
When I′m dead, when I'm gone?
When I went off to change the world
When I got back the world was just the same
Sad to say, but oh, the saddest part
The unbreakable heart we could not start to save our lives
Grasping straws, defending a lost cause
Till every martyr falls
It was the night of the long knives
Who will carry on?
Who will sing the freedom song?
From Kent State to Tiananmen Square
They kill the students anywhere
Every nation, every state,
Freedom means to agitate
I went to join the revolution but I couldn't find a parking space
I went to join the revolution but I couldn′t find a parking space
I went to join the revolution but I couldn′t find a parking space
When I went off to change the world...
