"The Real Me" (1989 Single)
1. The Real Me
2. Lake of Fools
3. War Cry
1. The Real Me
I went back to the doctor to get another shrink
I sit and tell him about my weekend
But he never can change what he thinks
Can you see the real me, doctor, doctor.
I went back to my mother, I said l�m crazy ma, help me
She said I know how it feels son, cause it runs in the family
C�mon tell me
Can you see the real me, mother, mother.
Can you see, can you see, can you see the real me
Can you see, can you see, the real me
The real me, the real me, the real me.
The cracks between the pavement stones
Like rivers of flowing rain
Strange people who know me
From behind every window pane
The girl I used to love lives in this yellow house
Yesterday she passed me by, she don�t want to know me now.
Can you see the real me, can ya, can ya
Can you see the real me, whoa yea.
I ended up with the preacher, full of lies and hate
I seemed to scare him a little, ha
So he showed me to the golden gate
Can you see the real me preacher, preacher
Can you see the real me whoa yea
Can you see, can you see, can you see, whoa yeah
Can you see the real me, doctor, doctor
Can you see the real me, mama
Can you see the real me.
2. Lake of Fools
Fifty million miles below my feet
There's a lot of people
I'd like to meet
There's theives and killers
Harlots and whores
All were misguided
But not any more...
So I see their fate
In the black of the doom
Waves of fire in the storm
Creatures howl at the moon
They're screaming intensly
Their cries are heard for miles
A prince resides there
Lake of fools, burning wild
3. War Cry
Oh I, I was marked from the day I was born
A rebel and I was the one who I am
My father could not understand the fire in me
There was, there was times I was crazy for real
So crazy I just couldn't feel, no, no, no
Confusion would stand in the door and tell me lies
But now I stand on my feet so alive
I'm a metal warrior, I need their cries, War Cry
I'm a soldier, soldier, a soldier of fortune
Ahh, come take a stand
Together we'll let out a cry
I'm a soldier, soldier, a soldier of fortune
Ahh, come take a stand
Together we'll never say die
Oh I, I did not choose, the music chose me
I was christened and destined to be who I am
The one that they said would be damned
A hellion child that...?
I stand at the mirror and sing
I dare to be different and dream, now I am
Big thunder that rolls on the land forever wild
But still, this feeling inside never die
I'm a metal warrior, I need their cries, War Cry
I'm a soldier, soldier, a soldier of fortune
Ahh, come take a stand
Together we'll let out a cry
I'm a soldier, soldier, a soldier of fortune
Ahh, Come take a stand
Together we'll never say die
Raise your fist and support your rebel outlaws
Cause nobody rides for free
The freedom we lose today, you lose tomorrow
Because freedom means something to us...
I'm a soldier, soldier, a soldier of fortune
Ahh, come take a stand
Together we'll let out a cry
I'm a soldier, soldier, a soldier of fortune
Ahh, come take a stand
Together we'll never say die
