John Waite - Euroshima lyrics

Armageddon on the late night show, and like my father before

We've got love on the barricades

Sweet optimists, battle hymns and hitparades

Armageddon cascades, what's my name? Jack of Spades

Outside my window is darkness and rain

And I'm only dreamin', 'til the sun shines again

Got nothing but a uniform, jungle issue, and rules that I will warm

[All my needs like a storm]/[On my knees, head cast down]

Serial number stands across my name

My fate is decided by kangaroo cops, it's insane

Tin soldiers marching in flames, what's my name? Jack of Spades

Outside my window is darkness and rain

And I'm only dreamin', until the sun shines again

But there's no phoenix rising, and the future's stillborn

And the shadows are dancing, my coat of colours is torn, in Euro

(Solo)

Supernova on the Baltic Sea, push-button logic, [the human eyes in me]

And it gets a lot like TV

We've got children starving in the streets

Genocide for passion, and no man withstands this heat

Kids in [Parm] don't compete, the boss gets the [iron in the cold]

Outside my window, clouds fill my sky

And I'm only dreamin', but there's no time to turn the tide

There's no phoenix rising, and the future's stillborn

Dark shadows are dancing, my coat of colours is torn, in Euroshima

Oh no, Euro, Euroshima, oh no, Euro, ow!
