The Thermals – Now We Can See lyrics

We were born in the desert,
We were reared in a cave...
We conquered in the sun,
But we lived in the shade
Yeah baby we were savage...
We existed to kill...
Our history is damaged,
At least it was a thrill!

But now we can see!
Now that our vision is strong,
We don't have to admit we were wrong!
Now we can see,
But the images don't stick!
Our enemies lay dead on the ground,
And still we kick!

Oh-way-oh-a-whoa

Now we can see!
The warnings and the signs...
Reading between the lines like writing on the wall!
Now we can see!
What do we need?
We should need nothing, nothing at all!

We were born on an island,
We grew out of the sand...
Never saw another creature,
Never knew another man...
Yeah baby we were nothing,
We existed for less!
Our present was empty,
Our history a mess!

But now we can see!
Now we do as we please!
Now we do away with our disease!
Now we can see!
Now the image sticks!
We still need the medicine quick!
We still take the pill,
But only for the fix!

Now we can see!
The warnings and the signs...
Reading between the lines like writing on the wall!
Now we can see!
What do we need?
We should need nothing, nothing at all!

Oh-way-oh-a-whoa

Yeah now we can see!
