Ariel and the River Songtext
von Emanuel and the Fear

Sleep in your homes all alone, is it what you wanted
To dream that you′ve found control
Of yourself and everyone else, cause you know
That you can have all that you want just as long as you give them a piece of it.

No don't go thinking that you own all that stuff that you hold so dear to you
Cause they can take it if they want it and you′ll be left with nothing but to listen to the world,
Yea it's all there in between
We are only what they want us to be.
And open up your eyes, take a look at what you see
We are only what they want us to be

Those were pearls that were her eyes
With diamond fingers, emerald thighs,
And golden calves that reach so high
Her silk blonde hair was in the sky.
With people bowing in the streets
All out there working underneath
To power up electric feet
That stood each swallowing the river there


That ran between her legs
And onward up into her head.
For years they'd built their world around her
Till the river dried up dead
And then she spit out what was left of it
Splashing out into the streets
The mighty wave that they′d created
Crashing dancing over everything and

Out into the world until there′s nothing left that's free
And we are only what they wants us to be.
And open up your eyes, take a look at what you see,
We are only what they want us to be.

Well it might be me, maybe this is meant to be
In a world where nothing′s determined anyway.
But I like Albert can't see
How something as simple as you and me
Can just decide what they′re provided with is all there is to be.

But what if there's no such thing as a good thing or a bad thing?
Yea and what if everything is the same as everything?
Then who′s to care when there's nobody there
As we all join together now to to see?

That we are only what they want us to be.
We are only what they want us to be.
We are only what they want us to be.
We are only what they want us to be.
