  • In the kingdom fortuna free spirit
    He's naked in the world and spinning
    Making fortunes out of misfortunes
    And blasting all over this land
    Breaking the souls and the ghosts of my country
    Burning the spirits in the space in the cities
    Leaving nothing for a new generation
    And never with a change of heart

    Well you come for action
    Catch the wave
    And chase the afterglow
    I see the whole quid pro quo
    Oh but the show must go on

    Taking down all of my loving
    And breaking up all of my living
    Marching into towns and communities
    Tearing up all of this land
    Well you're no soldier of fortune
    In your kingdom fortuna free spirit
    Looting all the population
    And you're never gonna change your heart

    Well you come for action
    Catch the waves
    And sell the undertow
    I see the whole quid pro quo

    Subtract compassion
    I see the easy come easy go
    Out the way
    And go with the flow

    No action
    Catch the waves
    And sail the undertow
    I see the whole quid pro quo
    Subject subtraction
    Oversee the easy come easy go
    Crash the walls
    And sell the undergrowth
    I know it's all the know who you know
    Take terrain
    The whole quid pro quo
    Oh but the show must go on Writer/s: JAMES DOVIAK, JOHNNY MARR
