This is icehouse
I've seen them, I've seen the danger
I've seen some things
I'll remember if I live forever

CHORUS:
I need dream killers
I need your pictures
I don't need heroes
I need opinions
I need religion
I don't need heroes

I'll use the trick
It hurts but I'm thinking clearly
You bite with sound
Recorded speech is in the throat of your God

(repeat chorus)
Don't break my heart

(repeat chorus)
Wrong place, wrong time
The American dream's sure to save me
One more mistake
So this is the art of survival

(repeat chorus)
