Romanian Dallas, our Jesus and Elvis for coffee and oil
The company palace still sending their vessels in search of new shores
And Land Ahoy! We've warned of the dangers to good girls and boys:
Take candy from soldiers. A red flag no more
So now come the imports and exports
Our weapons of war: a star on the screen
Their kids never dressed like that before
Romanian Dallas, the leaders allowed this indictment of greed
While Berlin was burning, a silent subversion had planted its seed
Well I'm sorry to say, the common man ain't no working class saint
He just wants some rest at the end of the day
Whether America or somewhere
Far off in the East. He's falling asleep
A'watchin' our programs on TV
We can't go back
This crazy old train never blew off track;
This great royal ship never steered off course;
Like it or not we're movin' in next door
By grace or force
Romanian Dallas, some call it a virus
And others the cure
We can't go back
This crazy old train never blew off track;
This great royal ship never steered off course;
Like it or not we're movin' in next door
By grace or force
If you look behind, a runaway train
Still runnin' on time; a history made
Of dirty secrets and lies;
Etch them in stone and leave them far behind...
Far behind...
