We are children of the future  
Wonder where this world is going to,  
We are children of the future  
Wonder what in this world we are going to do

When the world swallows whole  
all you’ve known  
there are no landmarks  
you can recognise  
Where is the jewel that will never fade,  
that will not decay with old age?

Some are born to move the world  
To live their fantasies  
But most of us just dream about  
The things we’d like to be  
Sadder still to watch it die  
Than never to have known it  
For you, the blind who once could see  
The bell tolls for thee…

Hell’s Bells, Satan’s comin’ to you  
Hell’s Bells, he’s ringing them now  
Hell’s Bells, the temperature’s high  
Hell’s Bells, across the sky  
Hell’s Bells, they’re takin’ you down  
Hell’s Bells, they’re draggin’ you around

So, so you think you can tell  
Heaven from Hell,  
Blue skies from pain.  
Can you tell a green field  
From a cold steel rail?  
A smile from a veil?  
Do you think you can tell?

Music makes you lose control  
Work your body to the beat  
Bodywork will set you free

They call it understanding,  
Understanding,  
A willingness to grow,  
I’m finally understanding,  
There’s so much I could know.

Just between us  
I think it’s time for us to recognize  
The differences we sometimes fear to show  
Just between us  
I think it’s time for us to realize  
The spaces in between  
Leave room for you and I to grow

I wish you good spaces  
in the faraway places you go  
If it rains or it snows  
May you be safe and warm  
And never grow old

In the event  
that this fantastic voyage  
Should turn to erosion  
and we never get old  
Remember it’s true, dignity is valuable  
But our lives are valuable too

The battle’s over and the dust is clearing  
Disciples of the Snow Dog sound the knell  
Rejoicing echoes as the dawn is nearing  
By-Tor, in defeat, retreats to Hell

On top of the sky is a place where you go,  
If you’ve done nothing wrong  
And down in the ground is a place where you go,  
If you’ve been a bad boy  
Why can’t we have eternal life  
And never die?

Don’t hang on,  
Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky.  
It slips away,  
And all your money won’t another minute buy.

Don’t get me wrong

Bad checks, anything  
Gimme your money

I was cleaned and skinned and so hard-pressed  
I called the woman that I love the best  
I finally reached my baby 'bout a half past three  
She said, “I’d like to know what you want with me.”  
I said, “Money, honey!  
Money, honey!  
Money, honey,  
If you wanna get along with me.”

If you’ve got the money honey I’ve got the time
