Nektar - The Iceman

In the state of 49 we were acting out the crime
Of being people
But it never did occur the powers that be could take a turn
And spawn their evil

A young man next to me sank to his knees and asked his God
Can this be reason
While half a world away Gates' machines began to say
This place is needed

In this land of crystal light they sank a hole in dead of night
And found their booty
The satelite was hot don't give a damn about your lot
Or natural beauty

This disrespect of man and the raping of his land
Just has no meaning
Now the money talks, deals are closed
You're spared no feelings

Hey! Mr. white man, what you say, is it true
This land of our children it all belongs to you

Hey! Mr. white man, can you see what you have done
The days of the iceman have now come and gone

In the state of 49 an iceman friend of mine
Found the reason
They signed the dotted line, now it's come to payback time
It's open season

The eyes that only see legal paper not a tree
Can't be trusted
This land of crystal light is now a beacon in the night
It's done and dusted

Hey! Mr. white man, what you say, is it true
This land of our children it all belongs to you

Hey! Mr. white man, can you see what you have done
The days of the iceman have now come and gone
