Politicians should read science fiction, not westerns and detective stories.
Going to the desert
Descriptiona modern prayer

Going to the desert
Going to the desert
Trying to remember your name
Pondering your gift
Was it all in vain
The three wise monkey's
Light up their spliff's
Humans turn to lemming's
And gather at the clif'f's
Going to the desert
Trying to remember your name
Pondering your gift
Was it all in vain
Economist's play a hot tune
As the blind mice dance
As the beat builds
Everyone is caught in a trance
Going to the desert
Trying to to remember your name
Pondering your gift
Was it all in vain
The bankers want a pound of flesh
They say, they don't want blood
Tell that to the poor
When they gentrify their neighbourhood
Going to the desert
Trying to remember his name
Pondering his gift
Was it all in vain
Lord above forgive us
For our considerable shame
We know not what we do
We just play the game
Going to the desert
Trying to remember his name
Pondering his gift
Was it all in vain

Gerard,
Really enjoyable read, great lyrics for a song in my opinion, I can hear it to music and loved the idea of going to the desert, trying to remember his name, pondering his gift, was it all in vain.......great lines, great thoughts flow as I think about them as I wonder what the gift might have been.....water and his name, Abdul ......you have me thinking lol.![]()
