I had this dream just last night
It was all black and white
I watched as the wall in Berlin fell
To the tune of a lone violin
Though the fever was high
Under a bloodshot sky
A parade of teargas and guns
Silenced the voices who hummed
'We Shall Overcome'
I seen a boy and a girl
Trying to take on the world
Like Bonnie and Clyde in an old Cadillac
And the bloodshot sky fades to black
Someone tapped all the phones
So they went on alone
She says the law might ask questions of you
He says I'll tell 'em I'm just passing through
And then we'll rendezvous
I seen a man on a cross
And a dead albatross
Motherless kids on the streets by the border
Like the Orphans of the New World Order
When they found me I dropped
The guns already cocked
As I woke I tried to forget
So I lit the day's first cigarette
Is this war over yet?
So I lit the day's first cigarette
Is this war over yet?
