The Grid Songtext
von Paul K & the Weathermen

They put me on a grid
And they wired my ears
And my head was like a magnet imploding
And I stood out on the bank
While the river rolled by like a tank
And I saw that the whole city was eroding

Many great names were called
But the trial never stalled
And my life was like a drama unfolding
And the capital screen was
A cold symphony
Of information overloading

I swore to you a hundred times
I would not go but you′re all I own
I swore to you I would not say
I told you so
But I do not know your ways
I did not know your ways


They put me on the grid
And they wired my eyes and ears
My head was like a magnet imploding
And I stood out on the ridge the winter rain and counted years
And I saw the whole structure was eroding

I did a million things in spite of you
I swore I had the strength to live outside of you
Oh Father why have you forsaken me
Demons and enemies have taken me

They put me on the grid, and
They wired my ears
I felt my head was like a magnet imploding
Many great names were called
But the trial never stalled
And my life was like a nightmare unfolding

I swore that I would not say I told you so, I told you so
I did a million things I did in spite of you, I know you know
Oh Father why have you forsaken me
Did you let these demons and these enemies they've taken me
