1989 Lyrics

Old friend, i wonder where did you go?
Things have started to chance
Since you left this place you know
All my friends are fighting
And then world wars on the horizon again
And now i start to think
That i've lost my mind
As we find ourselves here
One last time

So is it true
That all we've come to give a s*** about
Is based around destruction
Of our fellow mankind
Replacing tolerance, freedom and respect
With a power mad state of mind

So have we lost control ?
Is it really worth turning back the clock ?
Or is it just too late ?
Well i don't think so
I'll understand if your heart's not in this
But think again'cos its time to believe in it
Think again'cos its time
That we worked this out

So hear our cry
( From the bottom of our hearts )
Something's not right
Whatever happened
To the words of yesterday ?
In the days when we were friends
Old friend i wonder where have you been ?
Whatever happened
To the words on which we used to lean ?
I gess they've been here all along
Silently uniting us as one
Don't you know
That this is the real meaning of freedom
In this basement show tonight ?

Isn't there a lesson here for us all to learn ?
