Into The Wind

We went to see the fall of Rome, I thought it would please us
 To watch how the mighty go in a blaze of hubris
 But I just stood there hypnotised by all the beautiful madness
 Face into the wind, boys, face into the wind
 Last night I dreamed that we built a fire in a wild garden
 We took all the holy books and we burned them
 All those pages to ashes, every last one of them
 Face into the wind, boys, face into the wind
 Everything under the sun shall be harnessed
 Forced to push and pull and endure like unwilling horses
 All for the ceaseless construction of Man's Great Purpose
 Face into the wind, boys, face into the wind
 And in the Market Square they're still stacking the shelves
 I'm screaming: I don't want anything, I don't need anything
 I don't want anything, I don't need anything
