Dyzfunctional Cuzin

Face down in Dresden on the bar room floor
The east German son is rising again
Papa I know how your troubles been long
Like me just a man, a bull raging in our blood

In that blood lies a seed, a chromosome of revolt
Against your god, your country, your family and yourself
I am a walking contradiction tonight
& I will drink myself senseless in the memory of a girl

Just like our wayward dysfunctional cuzin
When will he stop all his shooting & gambling ways
When will he stop all his banging & whoring ways
My brothers held me back for I was swaying like a daisy
Sleepwalking through a room that I just had destroyed
They're beginning to understand all the years of distress
That have honed this boy's Frankenstein complex to a level all its own
When the sun lifts itself high above the block houses
I'll be the one at the wheel watching in the rear view mirror
Lamenting my actions after all these years
But feeling the pleasure of watching another city disappear

Face down in Frankfurt on the airport floor
The Yankee auschlander is lifting himself up again
Brothers I know that yuour patience is thin
You just can't understand the sorrowful state that I'm in

Give me your eardrums, I'll hum you a bar or two
While you cut the piano-wire to chase down your foes
I can see it in your faces, you suppress the disdain
Like me just a man, a bull raging in our blood
