Fish - White Russian Lyrics
Where do we go from here?Theyre boarding up the synagogues, uzis on a street cornerYou cant take a photograph of uzis on a street cornerThe dj resigned today, they wouldnt let him have his sayA surface scratched where the needles play, uzis on a street cornerWhere do we go from here?Terror on the rue de st. denis, murder on the peripherySomeone else in someone elses pocket, christ knows I dont know how to stop itLay poppies at the cenotaph, the cynics cant afford to laugh,I heard in on the telegraph theres uzis on a street cornerWhere do we go from here?The more I see the more I hear the more I find the fewer answersI close my mind, I shut it out but you know its getting harderTo calm me down, to reason out, to come to terms with what its all aboutIm uptight, cant sleep at night, I cant pretend everythings alright.My ideals my sanity, they seem to be deserting meBut to stand up and fight I know we have six million reasons.Theyre burning down the synagogues, uzis on a street cornerThe heralds of the holocaust, uzis on a street cornerThe silence never louder than now, how quickly we forgot our vows,This resurrection we cant allow, the uzis on a street corner.Where do we go from here, where do we go from here?We buy fresh bagels from the corner storeWhere swastikas are spat from aerosolsI sit in the bar sipping iced white russiansTrying to score but nobodys pushingAnd everyone looks at everyones facesSearching for signs and praying for tracesOf a conscience in residence,Are we sitting on a barbed wire fence, racing the clouds homeRacing the clouds homeWe place our faith in human rightsIn the paper wars that tie the redtape tightI know that I would rather be out of this conspiracyIn the gulags and internment campsFrozen faces in nameless ranksI know that they would rather beStanding here besides me chasing the clouds homeYou can shut your eyes, you can hide awayIts gonna come back another dayRacing the clouds home, are we racing the clouds home?Racing the clouds home
