Nektar - The Iceman lyrics

In the state of 49 we were acting out the crime Of being people But it never did occur the powers that be could take a turn And spawn their evil A young man next to me sank to his knees and asked his God Can this be reason While half a world away Gates' machines began to say This place is needed In this land of crystal light they sank a hole in dead of night And found their booty The satelite was hot don't give a damn about your lot Or natural beauty This disrespect of man and the raping of his land Just has no meaning Now the money talks, deals are closed You're spared no feelings Hey! Mr. white man, what you say, is it true This land of our children it all belongs to you Hey! Mr. white man, can you see what you have done The days of the iceman have now come and gone In the state of 49 an iceman friend of mine Found the reason They signed the dotted line, now it's come to payback time It's open season The eyes that only see legal paper not a tree Can't be trusted This land of crystal light is now a beacon in the night It's done and dusted Hey! Mr. white man, what you say, is it true This land of our children it all belongs to you Hey! Mr. white man, can you see what you have done The days of the iceman have now come and gone
