The boy is listening to those records from the past
He wants to make them last
For they make him feel alive
they are the voices of the faces on the wall
He listens to them all
Hangs on every little tale they tell
he knows them all and their life life stories
Shares their pain and shares their glories
One day he even cut their names upon his skin
they mean that much to him
for them he´d take the test
his bedroom window opens to the evenings air
The fox is in his lair
the volume of his system is full on
But the neighbours moan and the parents call
the angry noise is the muzak of the wastelands
The wastelands
The boy is dressingin the fassion of the day
The kids all dress the way
You can tell them anywhere
the boy looks outand sees his friends are waiting there
in the cold electric glare
of those lampsthat make you think that night is day
the drag their lusts into your sight
with shouts and screams they meet the night
they block you wayin twos and fours
in uniforms from city stores
they´re closing in,who knows the score
it won´t be long before
A martyr´s blood is nourishing the wastelands
yes it won´t be long before
A martyr´s blood is nourishing the wastelands
The wastelands
Oh wastelands
yes it won´t be long before
A martyr´s blood is nourishing the wastelands
Oh wastelands.
