I just want to watch the paradise   I just want to see that clear, clear light   Don't want to be a member of a species that's deceasing   Keep on making those promises that they aren't keeping      I can't go on like this   I can't go on like this      Oh, I was a talking to the people next door   They said don't want to die in a nuclear war   Now we went walking down the old north road   We got a common cause we got a heavy, heavy load      Because we can't go on no no living like this   We can't go on      Watching pictures of the world   Watching pictures as they pass me by   Don't stop at that light, don't go out at night   Watching pictures of the world   Watching pictures as they pass me by   My artificial heart, expensive spare parts      I've been a sailor on the sea, I've been a flier in the air   I've seen a whole lot of bleeding hearts out there   They don't talk so much I tell you they still care   Yes they do, yes they do      They can't go on living like this they can't go on   They can't go on      They're watching pictures of the world   They're watching pictures as they pass me by   Don't sit around in silence you don't need a license   Watching pictures of the world   Watching pictures as they pass me by   It's moving in a hurry there's no need to worry      We're really going to change it the critical mass approaches   I can almost hear it
