UNCLE ACID AND THE DEADBEATS LYRICS

1. I See Through You

Somebody switch the oxygen off and take their games away
Somebody take the plug from the wall and let them find their own way through
I know it's you, it's the evil you do

Somebody take their platform away and let them stand alone
Somebody cut the fog with a knife down to the knuckle bone
It's true, they lie to you, it's the evil they do

I can't breathe but I CAN SEE THROUGH YOU

Somebody let them know that they're wrong and they're all misinformed
Somebody light the torch of truth to see the shit they've spawned on you
It's not all true, it's the evil they do

Somebody hold them all to account and un-corrupt our minds
Somebody raise their voice from the din and let the past rewind
It's true, it's in front of you, it's the evil they do

I can't breathe but I CAN SEE THROUGH YOU

In the house where they long to be, they throw stones through the glass
In the end they wish to be free but they're chained to the past
They're wasting their time away
Left them out in the cold
They've got nothing much left to say
They'll lie down as they're told

I SEE THROUGH YOU (It's the evil you do)

2. Shockwave City

As I walk through the fire
I turn my eyes to see
They took us down to the wire
But it doesn't matter much to me

Into the badlands we ride
To a place they'll never get you
They know there's nowhere to hide
Behind the walls of Shockwave City

As the clouds struck on midnight
They turn their eyes to see
The flicker of the screen light
It was never gonna let them be

Into the darklands we fall
To an empty grave that's waiting
They have their chains on us all
Behind the walls of Shockwave City

Shockwave City

3. No Return

Come taste the darkness
Fulfill the urge
Our sky is starless
As we hear the dirge
We've lived so long in silence
It's time to burn it all away

Come worship nothing
On barren lawns
Come watch the suffering of the jailor's pawns
We've gone and done it this time
It's time to burn it all away

There's just no return
There's just no return
There's just no return
There's just no return
No return
Your mind is dead
Your mind is dead
Your mind is dead

4. Blood Runner

Open your eyes to the nightmare
Watch as the screen flashes by
In the middle of a dream you've broken
Sleep as you mean to remember
All of your past slips away
While the children of the beast have woken

Hear the sirens of the damned for the BLOOD RUNNER
Hear the sirens of the damned, BLOOD RUNNER

Store all your memories in thought banks
File as they capture your mind
By the middle of the night, they've faded
Drink up the poison they feed you
Sit back and wait for the ride
Through the ocean of your blood, they've waded

Hear the sirens of the damned for the BLOOD RUNNER
Hear the sirens of the damned, BLOOD RUNNER

5. Stranger Tonight

I couldn't close my eyes
I never had much choice
I took out my pistol
And ran from everyone

The air that's in my lungs
Just like a noose that's strung
Cuts off my blood and brain
Until I'm like everyone

But I wouldn't hurt you
I'm a stranger tonight

I never had much luck
I never had a plan
I'll come right up behind you
Like death does to everyone

Your neck is warm to touch
If I squeeze a little too much
Cuts off your blood and brain
Until you’re like everyone

I wouldn't hurt you
I'm a stranger tonight

Now we shan't overcome
Fucked over everyone
"As long as I'm alright Jack"
You don't care about anyone

Our brains are empty shells
But there's no room in hell
We'll wrought the earth with blood and pain
To fall on everyone

But I wouldn't hurt you
I'm a stranger tonight

6. Wasteland

They stood by the edge of darkness
And bowed at the end to the spell
The cue from above swept through them
As they knew this would never end well

The fire in the sky had warned them
As the marching of men came through
The elders had all decided
It was better to die than to lose

And through the haze they fought for days
They never knew
Fate's cold hand in this wasteland
Will bury them too

Further away by the ocean
The waves [...] the rocks in the land
The hardships that sailed are all broken
As the bodies washed up on the sand

Four horsemen arrived at daybreak
As the sky up ahead turned black
The cold and the rain cut through them
But they knew they would never come back

And through the haze they fought for days
They never knew
Fate's cold hand in this wasteland
Will bury them too

7. Bedouin

BEDOUIN they've been waiting for you
BEDOUIN they've been taking from you

Oh can't you see the pain you've caused for me
Is chained forever to your heart
And when you sleep your conscience starts to creep
And cuts you right back to the start

BEDOUIN they've been waiting for you
BEDOUIN they've been taking from you

And so my friend until the lonely end
You'll have to learn to live this way
Until you find what I hope you'll find
Your soul will suffer everyday

BEDOUIN they've been waiting for you
BEDOUIN they've been taking from you

BEDOUIN the're waiting til the darkness falls
Although their hands are empty they once had it all
BEDOUIN, BEDOUIN, BEDOUIN, BEDOUIN...

8. Exodus

In the town where I was from, there's nothing left to see
In the streets where the rats have fled, the tongues of flame lick me
I was there when the winter came
I was there through the fire and rain, alright?

The blanket dust and the winter fog had choked the life from me
The violet hour when the jailers ran was such a sight to see
I was there when the chill began
I saw the bones as they turned to sand, alright?

I traveled far with the EXODUS when walked the other way
I saw the lies they fed to us, what could they really say?
I've felt alone in this atmosphere
It's hard to tell if there's people here
There's nothing more they can say to us
The time is right for the EXODUS, alight!
You just do what they say
You just do what they say
You just do what they say...
