Crass - Where Next Columbus? Lyrics
Anothers hope, anothers gameAnothers loss, anothers gainAnothers lies, anothers truthAnothers doubt, anothers proofAnothers left, anothers rightAnothers peace, anothers fightAnothers name, anothers aimAnothers fall, anothers fameAnothers pride, anothers shameAnothers love, anothers painAnothers hope, anothers gameAnothers loss, anothers gainAnothers lies, anothers truthAnothers doubt, anothers proofAnothers left, anothers rightAnothers peace, anothers fightMarx had an idea from the confusion of his headThen there were a thousand more waiting to be ledThe books are sold, the quotes are boughtYou learn them well and then you're caughtAnothers left, anothers rightAnothers peace, anothers fightMussolini had ideas from the confusion of his heartThen there were a thousand more waiting to play their partThe stage was set, the costumes wornAnd another empire of destruction bornAnothers name, anothers aimAnothers fall, anothers fameJung had an idea from the confusion of his dreamThen there were a thousand more waiting to be seenYou're not yourself, the theory saysBut I can help, your complex paysAnothers hope, anothers gameAnothers loss, anothers gainSatre had an idea from the confusion of his brainThen there were a thousand more indulging in his painRevelling in isolation and existential choiceCan you truly be alone when you use anothers voice?Anothers lies, anothers truthAnothers doubt, anothers proofThe idea born in someones mindIs nurtured by a thousand blindAnonymous beings, vacuous soulsDo you fear the confusion, your lack of control?You lift your arm to write a nameSo caught up in the identity gameWho do you see? Who do you watch?Who's your leader? Which is your flock?Who do you watch? Who do you watch?Who's your leader? Which is your flock?Einstein had an idea from the confusion of his knowledgeThen there were a thousand more turning to advantageThey realised that their god was deadSo they reclaimed power through the bomb insteadAnothers code, anothers brainThey'll shower us all in deadly rainJesus had an idea from the confusion of his soulThen there were a thousand more waiting to take controlThe guilt is sold, forgiveness boughtThe cross is there as your rewardAnothers love, anothers painAnothers pride, anothers shameDo you watch at a distance from the side you have chosen?Whose answers serve you best? Who'll save you from confusion?Who will leave you an exit and a comfortable coverWho will take you oh so near the edge, but never drop you over?Who do you watch
