"Ghost Train" by Steve Andrews.

Описание: "Ghost Train" is an old poem by Steve Andrews that could be used as the lyrics for a song.

Ghost Train
A musician, an artist and a writer
Were gathered together in a cave,
Outside the weather was very grim,
Understanding was what the three of them crave.
The wind it was howling in the wilderness,
And a voice it was heard in the sky,
It´s the dawn of a new civilization,
And the questions are when, where and why?

Millions of meaningless numbers
Found there was nothing to do,
It cost too much to be clever,
Too many cooks were spoiling the stew.
From fad diet sheets to prescriptions,
Some flavoring, sugar and spice,
The mouth watering range of junk culture,
The ecstasy, heat and the ice.

Books that were written in ages past
Were about to be written again,
Different names for the authors and titles,
Blood of lies for the ink in the pen.
New demigods are created
Pushed by the medias smile,
Force fed to the starved populations,
Packaged with love and with guile.

Now I´m an angry 30-something,
There´s a reason why I got this way,
I know some of you out there are listening,
I know some of you catch what I say.
I don´t have a clue where the truth is,
I don´t know what a man´s supposed to do,
But I know the world´s turning like a roundabout,
With dodgems and ghost trains coming for you.
