Child of Vision Lyrics by Supertramp

Breakfast in America

1979

[Verse 1]
Well who do you think you're foolin'?
You say you're having fun
But you're busy going nowhere
Just lying in the sun
You tried to be a hero
Commit the perfect crime
But the dollar got you dancing
And you're running out of time
[Verse 2]
You're messin' up the water
You rolling in the wine
You're poisoning your body
You're poisoning your mind
And you gave me Coca-Cola
You just said it tasted good
Then you watch the television
And to tell that just you should
[Pre-Chorus]
How can you live in this way?
(Why do you think it's so strange?)
You must have something to say
(You tell me why should I change)
[Chorus 1]
There must be more to this life
It's time we did something right
Child of Vision, won't you listen?
Find yourself a new ambition
[Verse 3]
I've heard it all before
You're saying nothing new
I thought I saw a rainbow
But I guess it wasn't true
You cannot make me listen
And I cannot make you hear
So you'll find your way to heaven
And I'll meet you when you're there
[Pre-Chorus]
How can you live in this way?
(Why do you think it's so strange?)
You must have something to say
(You tell me why should I change)
[Chorus 2]
We have no reason to fight
'cos we both know that we're right
Child of Vision, won't you listen?
Find yourself a new ambition
