IF THERE'S A WORD I'M REALLY TIRED OF HEARING, APART FROM "HERO" I MIGHT ADD, IT'S THAT MUCH OVERUSED "TERRORISM". WHILE I DON'T WANT TO DOWNPLAY THE PROBLEM ITSELF, IT SCARES ME TO THINK THAT WE LIVE IN TIMES WHERE SO-CALLED DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENTS CAN "REMOVE" ANY POLITICAL OPPONENT THEY WANT, REQUIRING NO FURTHER LEGITIMATION THAN BRANDING THEM "TERRORISTS".

NO, THIS IS NOT REALLY A POLITICAL SONG. IT'S JUST ONE THAT I SOMETIMES JOKINGLY CALL "MY CONTRIBUTION TO THE WAR
AGAINST TERRORISM . . . CULTURAL TERRORISM, THAT IS."

LONDON, AIRPORT
LATE AT NIGHT
STILL HOURS TO KILL
NO END IN SIGHT
THE ARMCHAIR'S NICE
A VELVET DREAM
STILL THINGS ARE NOT
NOT WHAT THEY SEEM
ANOTHER STARBUCKS
AIN'T THAT LUCK?
DEAR UNCLE SAM
OH, THANKS SO MUCH!
NO PLACE TO GO
THERE AIN'T NO CHOICE
UNLESS, OF COURSE
YOU CARE FOR FRIES

I AM
I AM, I'M ME AGAIN
MY ANGER'S BACK
SO IS MY RANTING
YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT
I'M ALIVE AGAIN
I'M ALIVE AGAIN

COFFEE AND PASTRIES
KEEP ME AWAKE
THERE'S EVEN ONE
CALLED DECADENCE CAKE
THE AIRPORT SPEAKER
GETS ON MY NERVES
WHEN ALL NIGHT LONG
HE INSTRUCTS THE HERDS
LIKE YESTERDAY
THE AD ON THE TUBE
SAYIN', "PLEASE DON'T EAT
NO SMELLY FOOD!"
A FUNNY REQUEST
THOUGH HARD TO FOLLOW
IF FISH AND CHIPS
ARE WHAT YOU SWALLOW

I AM
I AM, I'M ME AGAIN
MY ANGER'S BACK
SO IS MY RANTING
YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT
I'M ALIVE AGAIN
I'M ALIVE AGAIN

THE RADIO'S PLAYIN'
BOBBY'S ON
STILL NO BIG SINGER
BUT WHAT A SONG
NEXT IS TRACY
OH, NOT AGAIN
THE TOKEN FOLKIE
TILL THE END
MAKES ME THINK
OF SEXY JEWEL
WEARIN' HOT PANTS
SHOWIN' HER BOOBS
THERE'S MANY MORE
WHO WRITE GREAT SONGS
HERE'S TO ALL YOU
FORGOTTEN ONES

I AM
I AM, I'M ME AGAIN
MY ANGER'S BACK
SO IS MY RANTING
YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT
I'M ALIVE AGAIN
