Lyrics by Arko, Music by Nithin. The first official BOD music video.
Lyrics:
4 times to nothing is still short of the score
And fellows with bellows come rushing in droves.
Moonlights and starry skies don't light up no more,
Johnny sits by himself on the washed up bed shore.
Sabbath and Floyd were the best friends he knew.
They sang songs of perdition and the common man's woes.
Politics and religion also about they spoke,
Johnny sat with his jukebox and lapped up each note.
ch:
Mind over matter he looked at his sides, delinquents and rejects with footprints alike.
Look into his face for sorrow divine and find what they searched for in his grim smile.
'Gather', he shouts at the masses convened and begs their attention to the ground underneath,
'I aint got no tarots and I aint got no stars, but we'll drive in the enemy a stake through his heart.'
Gents in Row suits and women in hats
Walk along rigid for coffee on the tracks.
Boxcars and dinosaurs in brilliant green.
Reek of the rust of the age we live in.
Johnny sees all and Johnny hears none.
A 100 to 1 is an odd never won.
Clenched fists and uniforms will never concede
Johnny and his dreams remain unfulfilled.
ch:
Mind over matter he looked at his sides, delinquents and rejects with footprints alike.
Look into his face for promise divine and dont find what they used to in his grim smile.
'Hold on' he shouts as they all disperse and points to the weeping sky above.
'I aint got no tarots and I aint got no stars, the enemy's too strong for a stake in his heart'.
naaaaaice!
