Drinking in Helsinki - Bjørn Tomren

Woman, I live in Oakland, Is what I said to her It's hard to look good in 2005 But you're doing a mighty fine job And the German art students are Kissing by the super conductor This ain't no Flintstone chewable Take my word for that I wanna dance with your grandma tonite Cuz she's got those old fashioned moves That I like And we'll sing... We're drinking in Spanish, Is that how you wanna dance You don't know how we do this Take me word for that Captain Geesh and his shrimp shack shooters On their way to the rodeo Tommy Rick boy and Alvin Alvasella Shep Sandwich says You got to get involved Make this happen round here Aye que juele mi caballo You smell much better hyna Donde' Esta refrigeradero It's a wonder how we got this far And we'll sing We're drinking in Spanish Is that how you wanna dance

I must've dreamed a thousand dreams Been haunted by a million screams But I can hear the marching feet They're moving into the street Now, did you read the news today? They say the danger's gone away But I can see the fires still alight They're burning into the night There's too many men, too many people Making too many problems And not much love to go round Can't you see this is the land of confusion? Well, this is the world we live in (Oh-oh-oh) And these are the hands we're given (Oh-oh-oh) Use them and let's start trying (Oh-oh-oh) To make it a place worth living in Ooh, Superman, where are you now? Well, everything's gone wrong somehow The men of steel, men of power They're losing control by the hour This is the time, this is the place So we look for the future But there's not much love to go round Tell me why this is the land of confusion This is the world we live in (Oh-oh-oh) And these are the hands we're given (Oh-oh-oh) Use them and let's start trying (Oh-oh-oh) To make it a place worth living in I remember long ago Ooh, when the sun was shining And the stars were bright all through the night And the sound of your laughter as I held you tight So long ago I won't be coming home tonight My generation will put it right We're not just making promises That we know we'll never keep Too many men, there's too many people Making too many problems And not much love to go round Can't you see this is the land of confusion? Well, this is the world we live in (Oh-oh-oh) And these are the hands we're given (Oh-oh-oh) Use them and let's start trying (Oh-oh-oh) To make it a place worth fighting for This is the world we live in (Oh-oh-oh) And these are the names we're given (Oh-oh-oh) Stand up and let's start showing (Oh-oh-oh) Just where our lives are going to
