King Crimson - 21st Century Schizoid Man (Including “Mirrors“)
21ST CENTURY SCHIZOID MAN including MIRRORS
(Fripp, Lake, McDonald, Giles, Sinfield)
Cat’s foot iron claw
Neuro-surgeons scream for more
At paranoia’s poison door
Twenty first century schizoid man.
Blood rack barbed wire
Politicians’ funeral pyre
Innocents raped with napalm fire
Twenty first century schizoid man.
Death seed blind man’s greed
Poets’ starving children bleed
Nothing he’s got he really needs
Twenty first century schizoid man.
