Side to Side

Keep in mind, the firing line
it only moves from side to side.
The cameras move on in time,
don’t think about what’s left behind.

Stay around, stay around,
the story’s just begun,
ask me much later
and I’ll tell you we’ve won.

The long arm of America
took my hand and led me through the bad times,
when the battle raged we were side to side
but he left me when the ratings died.

Don’t think me ungrateful
but I felt this should be said
to rattle your complacency
and get it in your head.

Every eagle learns to fly
when they look up to the sky,
we’r just moving side to side
but every eagle learns to fly.

Yesterday they came to me:
„how does it feel now that you are so free?”
I took them down to the heart of town
it’ better for the tourists not for me.

Fourty years of changing
doesn’t happen in a day
thank you for your blessing
but there’s something I should say:

Every eagle learns to fly
when they look up to the sky,
we’r just moving side to side
but every eagle learns to fly.
