Song lyrics But not me: I won’t give inThey can lead: but I will never followTake it all: take all of it you canHave your fill of all they make you swallow But not me The days pass you byYou’re running in placeTomorrow is wearingYour yesterday’s face But not me So many people so many different racesSo many tongues and religions came to beThey couldn’t share the tower to the heavensThey tore it down and let it crumble to the sea Babel Give me a cause that I can fight forGive me a wrong I can do right forGive me some laws that don’t abuse meRules that won’t confuse me Bluzwis A deal is a deal; not a one that he calls offQuestion his ethics and he’ll cut your balls offAll that he lives for is money Boogie How I crave you: your face is perfectionBut desire is mixed with dejectionThough I’ve wooded you: obsessively pursued youIt was not in my plan my lusting for a man In God we trust, Jan addressing Benjamin Franklin’s image on $100 banknote. Spanish are lazy; Russians are crazyGermans will beat you; after they loseChinese will duck you; Frenchmen will f*** youJews all have talent; too bad they’re Jews Labels Pale star of morningUnto your careMy soul I offerHere my prayerGoddess of silverPlease hear my pleaMistress of fortuneCome to me Litany When you’re waiting at a station between here and thereAt a point between your dreams and your survivalTunnels cross; tracks can take you anywhereTo change your life between departure and arrival Metro I’ve loved and seen love dieLife goes on, people change, and I no longer cryDoors are closed, left behindStill I hold you in my mind Only in my dreams Behind a window, I stand and watch the peopleThe kind of window that I can never breakNo matter how I try to push my heart against itIt keeps on bending with every move I makeBeyond the window, the world goes on without meLife goes by me while here I… stay Window The money, the moneywhat I won’t do for the moneyfor money, for moneyI’d gladly sell you my soul The wheel of Fortune Category:Musicals
