Child of Vision Songtext
von Supertramp

Well who do you think you′re foolin'?
You say you′re havin fun
But you're busy going nowhere
Just lyin' in the sun

You tried to be a hero
Commit the perfect crime
But the dollar got you dancing
And you′re running out of time

And you′re messin' up the water
And you′re rollin' in the wine
And you′re poisoning your body
And you're poisoning your mind

And you gave me Coca-Cola
′Cause you said it tasted good
And you watch the television
'Cause it tells you that you should


Ooh how can you live in this way?
(Why do you think it's so strange?)
You must have something to say?
(Tell me why should I change?)
There must be more than this life (There must be more than this life)
It′s time we did something right (It′s time we did something right)
I said:

(Child of vision)
(Won't you listen?)
(Find yourself a new ambition)

I′ve heard it all before
You're saying nothing new
I thought I saw a rainbow
But I guess it wasn′t true

And you cannot make me listen
And I cannot make you hear
So you find your way to heaven
I'll meet you when you′re there

How can you live in this way?
(Why do you think it's so strange?)
You must have something to say?
(Tell me why should I change?)
We have no reason to fight (We have no reason to fight)
'Cause we both know that we′re right (′Cause we both know that we're right)
I said:


(Child of vision)
(Won′t you listen?)
(Find yourself a new ambition)
