Hajji Takes a Ride

Survival's all oh no

Hajji crouches down in the back of his cab
A thousand Muslim surround him wanting his head
He lays still in the seat just moments from death

Well I guess have to
Just ride this one out, oh no

Driver stares at him as he clings to the floor
Hajji hides with no help
It's survival you know

Will he ever be seen
He's about to find out
How odd, how odd his life would be on the line
Just for crossing town at this time

Survival's all
You can hope for
In Wadi Al-seer
Take a ride through Amman
And face all your fears

No Pain (Burns/Red Dons)

Death to your ideals death to them
You'll denounce me but freedom came when
I lost my idealism
And you see that you don't understand
How far I fell

It's all about the mistake that we made
To believe in anything
No, no you see that I don't understand
Your heart this time
How do you no pain

Faces inside, sang me a somber tune
So I escaped outside
Where in my solitude I was struck down from behind
Oh, but what then got to me
Wasn't getting jumped that night
It was when I returned to your cold uncaring eyes
They couldn't have cared if I had died

That night left me alone
And its never felt so cold
With nothing there for me I
Dragged my body my body down the stairs
And out into the cold damp empty streets
Of an ongoing hell I'll tell you now
It's a trick a fix that needs a fix
And the only sign of life was the sound of an ambulance
How can I justify wanting to be in it as it drives by
Taking me where I can rectify everything that's wrong
Where I feel no pain
No pain, everything falls apart and I feel no pain
