The Unicorns Are Screaming! - Full Version Songtext
von McCully/Mackay

Well the doctor said better slow down world
Cos you don′t know what you're taking
And the man with the crown had it melted down
To pay for all the faking

And the prince on the hill was standing still
They thought he was a statue
But the horsemen came in the dead of night
And they′re still coming at you

Children play with a skipping rope
And the rope is growing tighter
Teachers teach and the rich get rich
But the water's rising faster


When the flood comes down and the blood runs out
Who will slay the demon?
To the shining knight on the golden horse
The unicorns are screaming

On a dusty plain in the arid heat
The trees and seeds are dying
In the market square no justice there
Empathy is crying

Fire fries the once blue skies
And all our dreams of freedom
Diamond eyes and social lies
Follow those who lead them

And so we stand in a broken land
With smoke and ash around us
Aztecs, priests, and popes despair
As their power leaves them helpless


And the tiny gods with feet of clay
All mouth and nothing to them
Raise their arms are carried away
In the flood of empty reason
