We are the children of the night,
And fight for the future of our nation,
Let's come together and unite,
Nothings gonna stop us now.


We are the children of the night,
And fight for the future of our nation,
Let's come together and unite,
Nothings gonna stop us now.


Let the fire burn inside,
Nobody can stop this generation,
Cause we're the children of the night,
Don't ever let them put you down.

Get up...Get up...Get up...
Now is the time, no change,
Get up...Get up...Get up...
There is no time to wait,
Get up...Get up...Get up...
Don't ever let them put you down

Get up...Come along and join the scene,
Live you life like a rave machine.


We are the children of the night,
And fight for the future of our nation,
Let's come together and unite,
Nothings gonna stop us now.


Let the fire burn inside,
Nobody can stop this generation,
Cause we're the children of the night,
Don't ever let them put you down.


Get up...Get up...Get up...
Now is the time, no change,
Get up...Get up...Get up...
There is no time to wait,
Get up...Get up...Get up...
Don't ever let them put you down

Get up...Come along and join the scene,
Live you life like a rave machine.

(with children singing)

We are the children of the night,
And fight for the future of our nation,
Let's come together and unite,
Nothings gonna stop us now.


Let the fire burn inside,
Nobody can stop this generation,
Cause we're the children of the night,
Don't ever let them put you down.


Get up...Get up...Get up...
Now is the time, no change,
Get up...Get up...Get up...
There is no time to wait,
Get up...Get up...Get up...
Don't ever let them put you down

Get up...Come along and join the scene,
Live you life like a rave machine.

Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
