Spent two years of my life in a foreign land
Came home to my own wife  had a different man
Saw fifteen sons and fathers lying on the ground
Just one click of my thumb  everybody's down
Oh it seems that this had become a dream
Life ain't just what it seems
Still run by ancient schemes
And oh  it shows
On the faces of those that know
Blood flows where the money's stowed
Try to getcha hands on gold
But hey  what anybody tryin'a say
Spent two years of my life in a foreign land
Came home to find my mind still stuck in the sand
There are things I never thought that I could do
I had to tell myself Did 'em all for you
Oh it seems that this had become a dream
Life ain't just what it seems
Still run by ancient schemes
And oh  it shows
On the faces of those who know
Blood flows where the money's stowed
Gotta get your hands on gold
But hey  when anybody gonna say
