All Eyes Are On The West

Wave (1992)

Do you hear the roar of thunder
Coming from the dispossessed
They are tearing walls asunder
Putting freedom to the test.
Their eyes to the West.
Power slips and slides
Between the leaders and their people
While national pride is set aflame
Angry restless tribes while exorcising evil
Are looking round for more of us to blame.

What will happen, nobody knows.

And when the party's over,
Will the hunger turn to pain.
After scapegoats have been tortured
Will the problem still remain.
And who'll stand to gain.

Democracy's a novelty they've never had before.
To make it work will take some time.
And meanwhile I've just lived forty years of cold war.
And I can't make up my mind.

What will happen, nobody knows.

Do you hear the roar of thunder
Coming from the dispossessed
They are tearing walls asunder
Putting freedom to the test.
All eyes are on the west.
