The boy on the seashore

De teksten en muziek spreken voor zichzelf.

You gave your body to the lonely
They took your clothes
You gave up a wife and a family
You gave your goals

To be alone with me
To be alone with me
To be alone with me
You went up on a tree

To be alone with me you went up on the tree

I’ve never known a man who loved me

Rich man came to our town
And wandered around, wandered around
Rich man came to change our minds
And change our plans, take our things, take our nights
Tonight we fight

Rich man bought our wondering world
Our wonderful world, our wondering world
Rich man bought our wondering world
Our wonderful world, our wondering world

Get your guns, let’s shoot him down
Let’s axe his plans, we miss the mark
There goes the ark, here comes the dark
Rich man spoke, thunder clapped
Like a waterfall as those letters fall
On those know-it-alls and their mighty cousins

Rich man bought our wondering world
Our wonderful world, our wondering world
Rich man bought our wondering world
Our wonderful world, our wondering world

Rich man came to pay the price
He paid it all, he paid the now
He paid the royalty, he paid it in full
He paid it for fools who wandered and drooled
Full of life, he’s twice as nice

Rich man bought our wondering world
Our wonderful world, our wondering world
Rich man bought our wondering world
Our wonderful world, our wondering world
