Pour Le Monde Songtext

von Crowded House

He imagines the world
As the angel ascending
Like the ghost of a man
Who is tied up to the chair
And he wants to believe
That his life has a meaning
With his hand on his heart
Pour le monde pas pour la guerre
And I wake up blind
Like my dreams were too bright
And I lost my regard
For the good things that I had
And the radio was sad
I listen for good
In a hope that comes to nothing
The liars have moved in
And they believe their own dark medicine
They act so nonchalant
But he is not a dog
Perform for you in the stadium
For the world not for the war
But he won't hesitate
Though it might lead to heartache
In the night club indigo
For the world not for the war
Pour le monde pas pour la guerre
I listen for good
In a hope that comes to nothing
Cos the liars have moved in
And they brew their own dark medicine
Believing that its good
Behind their jaded eyes a dilemma
He's the best that you ever had
He's so low you'll never know
