Let Me Fly

Lyrics

[Intro] Oh [Verse 1] Did you see the TV? Did you see the news line? Lady Chaos workin' overtime Surrounded by computers and unfriendly users Livin' for today in the city of the future (Oh) [Chorus] Let me fly Let me fly Oh, let me fly into the heart Of the virgin sky [Verse 2] Architecture crumbling in downtown Manhattan Oh, LA freeway lookin' like doomsday Coast to coast I hear the prowlin' of the wind The comic grim reaper, he's at it again He got OJ and Jackson and TV preachers and stock market leaders My god, he even got OJ Simpson [Pre-Chorus] Iran, he ran, who ran the government Geeks and freaks and scandals and confusion All our institutions are falling apart And it's a good year for civil disobedience In Rome, it's lookin' very much like Rome, crisis situation Rome, this is not what Jefferson meant! Rome, red alert, red alert! [Chorus] Let me fly Let me fly Oh, let me fly into the heart Of the virgin sky [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Songs of freedom, songs of elevation All the people are hungry for action And when life starts movin' faster and faster And you sense the need to look deep into the future [Bridge] Let us dream of the future Let us dream and make it real now Dream of the future (Oh, oh, oh) Dream of the future (Oh, oh) Dreams of the future (Oh, oh, oh) [Chorus] I wanna be an outlaw (Let me fly) Just like Jesse James (Let me fly) Blade Runner outlaw (Let me fly) Robin Hood in disguise (Let me fly) Psychomotherfucker in the pool Rob the rich and feed the poor (Let me fly) Outlaw (Let me fly) She encourages bank robbery as a survival tool (Let me fly) And as a means of political and artistic expression (Let me fly) Oh, she'll be an outlaw (Let me fly) Just like George Washington and Daniel Ortega (Outlaw) Dillinger and Oscar de la Vega Belle Starr and Mother Jones (Outlaw) And Galileo and Black Bart And Bart Simpson and St. Paul (Outlaw) And Jesus broke the laws (Outlaw) So did Socrates and Martin Luther (Outlaw) And Martin Luther King and Vasco de Gama And Sir Francis Drake (Outlaw) Shit man, even J. Edgar Hoover broke the law [Outro] So go out and stuff the universe into your eyes Your face, your brains, your heart Like Columbus and Amerigo Vespucci And Lewis and Clark and Ramsey Clark and Ellsberg And Nixon and Reagan and Bush Get on the bandwagon Get with it Hide in the mouth of the dragon The heart of the empire In full disguise Of total desire
