[Intro]
x4
[Verse 1]
I just wanted to tell you I love you. I just wanted to tell you again
I saw you today on your mountain. I just want you to know that I'm there
Got a whole other world standing next to me. Little angels directing my hands
They won't let me choose from the colors I use. They want violence and black like Cezanne
The rage inside is hard to hide, I blame it on this trial
When I painted Guernica
[Verse 2]
These are dangerous times for thinkin'. I'm a stranger in a strange land
If you think for yourself, you're a traitor, it's like walking on quicksand
So I work in the shadows of uncertainty, waiting for that knock at the door
When I coal miner says, "Is this your idea?". I say, "No, I thought it was yours"
Just a drum off track, I went all the way back, the man on top reminded ya
When I painted Guernica. When I painted Guernica
When I painted Guernica. Alright
[Instrumental]
x2
[Bridge]
Far away, far away from distorted times
There's green and white in the meadows
Fly away, fly away from your worst nightmare
As you disappear in the shadows
Fly away, fly away from your broken bones
Fly away, fly away from evil
These big black screens are snatchin' dreams
Fly away, fly away to freedom
[Verse 3]
This picture is a chamber of horrors. This picture's a crucifixion
It'll hang on the walls of eternity halls, it will never be forgotten
When my hands veil the truth behind images, this picture is trying to explain
If this anger smashes into your consciousness, then this picture will not be in vain
And the camera smells of rusted shells, I created a monster
When I painted Guernica. When I painted Guernica
When I painted Guernica. Alright
[Outro]
