- I See Red Lyrics / with translationsI See Red
1. Back in my schooldays acting the fool days
One and one and one makes three.
And a man said: "Kid, come and cut yourself a piece of the big time."
Armour clad horses riding Trojan horses
Never made sense to me.
I didn't wanna be a part of the great debate on moonshine.
CHORUS:
Stop pay the price, they said to me,
Take this advice. You're out of your head.
Said: "Stop, hold the phone, this has to be
Cut to the bone. Too bad I SEE RED
I SEE RED, I SEE RED, I SEE RED.
2. When the sly man stumbles, twists and he tumbles
He always lands on his feet
And he sets his face towards the far horizon.
Won't you come this way, can't you go that way
But his rhythm don't miss a beat
'Cause he's doing everything he can to keep surviving.
Stop pay the price...
3. So who wants a riot? People should be quiet.
Don't we give them good T.V.?
You can learn to love your lifetime of distraction.
Nothing on the inside, nothing on the outside
All the way from A to Z.
I can live without that kind of satisfaction.
Stop pay the price...
