Lord Of The Flies

2nd February 1996

Album

I don't care for this world anymore
I just want to live my own fantasy
Fate has brought us to these shores
What was meant to be is now happening

I've found that I like this living in danger
Living on the edge it feels, it makes feel as one
Who cares now what's right or wrong, it's reality
Killing so we survive wherever we may roam
Wherever we may hide we've got to get away

I don't want existence to end
We must prepare ourselves for the elements
I just want to feel like we're strong
We don't need a code of morality

I like all the mixed emotion and anger
It brings out the animal, the power you can feel
And feeling so high with this much adrenaline
Excited but scary to believe what we've become

Saints and sinners, something within us
We are lord of the flies
Saints and sinners, something willing us
To be lord of the flies

(3:17 – Solo: Janick Gers)

Saints and sinners, something within us
We are lord of the flies
Saints and sinners, something willing us
To be lord of the flies

Saints and sinners, something within us
We are lord of the flies
Saints and sinners, something willing us
To be lord of the flies

People try to put us down – Talking about my generation
Just because we get around – Talking about my generation
They say we're awful cold – Talking about my generation
Hope I die before I get old – Talking about my generation
My generation, my generation baby

Why don't you just fade away – Talking about my generation
Don't try and dig what we all say – Talking about my generation
I'm not trying to cause a big sensation – Talking about my generation
I'm talking about my generation – Talking about my generation
My generation, my generation baby
My generation baby

Talking about my generation, talking about my generation
Talking about my generation, talking about my generation
My generation, my generation baby

Why don't you just fade away – Talking about my generation
Don't try and dig what we all say – Talking about my generation
I'm not trying to cause a big sensation – Talking about my generation
I'm talking about my generation – Talking about my generation
My generation, my generation baby
My generation baby

People try to put us down – Talking about my generation
Just because we get around – Talking about my generation
They say we're awful cold – Talking about my generation
Hope I die before I get old – Talking about my generation
My generation, my generation baby
My generation, my generation baby
My generation, my generation baby
My generation

People try to put us down
Just because we get around
They say we're awful cold
Hope I die before I get old
My generation, my generation baby
My generation, my generation baby
My generation

People try to put us down...

Doctor doctor please, don't you know I'm going fast
Doctor doctor please, don't you know I just can't last
She walked up to me and really stole my heart
And then she started to tear my body apart

Living, loving, I'm on the run so far away from you
Living, loving, I'm on the run so far away from you

Doctor doctor please, don't you know I just can't last
Doctor doctor please, don't you know I'm going fast
It's only just a moment, but she's turning paranoid
It's another situation for a nervous boy

Doctor doctor please, don't you know I'm going fast
Doctor doctor please, don't you know I just can't last
But you look so angry as I crawled across your floor
She's got the strength, I just can't take any more

Living, loving, I'm on the run so far away from you
Living, loving, I'm on the run so far away from you
