scary monsters...
Tue Sep 18 2001

this album was the beginning of my long love affair with david bowie. ashes to ashes in particular, struck a chord with me, but all in all, i believe it to be the last great album he ever created. so, why this song...it mirrors how i feel. i am not directing it to anyone...or any country...but these words feel too too near...


it's no game


Silhouettes and shadows watch the revolution
No more free steps to heaven
Just walkie-talkie - heaven or hearth
Just big heads and drums - full speed and pagan
And it's no game

I am barred from the event
I really don't understand the situation
So where's the moral
People have their fingers broken
To be insulted by these fascists it's so degrading
And it's no game

Documentaries on refugees, couples 'gainst the target
Throw a rock against the road, and it breaks into pieces
Draw the blinds on yesterday, and it's all so much scarier
Put a bullet in my brain, and it makes all the papers
And it's no game

Children round the world, put camel shit on the walls
They're making carpets on treadmills, or garbage sorting
And it's no game
