Wisdom's Had Its Day - Magnum

We’re hopelessly confused

Wisdom’s had its day

No one gets excused

And the world is watching you

What d’you have to say?

What d’you have to do?

Some wounded in love

And then there’s some covered in blood

Now I’ll tell you how I feel

I’m lost, feeling second-hand

Do you treasure what you steal?

Can you tell me where you stand?

We have to stand or fall

All that we believe

It’s right before our eyes

But if it rings untrue

Turn your back and leave

You might fall right through

Some lie to make do

And maybe that’s your point of view

Now I’ll tell you how I feel

I’m lost, feeling second-hand

Do you treasure what you steal?

Can you tell me where you stand?

Be still the angel of death

Spreading your wings 'cross the sky

Preening yourself for success

Watching the widows pass by

And every bullet that’s shot

To every baby that cries

And all the things we forgot

As we are waving goodbye

Now I’ll tell you how I feel

I’m lost, feeling second-hand

Do you treasure what you steal?

Can you tell me where you stand?

Now I’ll tell you how I feel

I’m lost, feeling second-hand

Do you treasure what you steal?

Can you tell me where you stand?

We’re hopelessly confused

Wisdom’s had its day
