Lyrics This Must Be the Solution - Nils Patrik Johansson

This Must Be the Solution

Day trader living on the edge
This trace is pounding like a sledge
How can you be both deaf and blind, blind?
Sharp shooter all filled up with hate
He knew somehow this was his fate
This is a tape we should rewind
Cold winter, night time, a black rendezvous
A vision so surreal but he knew what to do
Lived in the area, a crossroad in life
Ready to strike, in for the kill, eager to save all
This must be the solution
But lunacy must be
What drives this institution
Of clowns known as cops
In the madhouse of fraud and lies
Damn you all!
Gun lover, hater of the world
Luck chaser, soon the life would turn
This walk late night just changed it all, it all
Loser for many, Messiah for some
Heavy regret but the damage was done
Many years after, a wreck of a man
Ready to leave into the dark, eager to save all
This must be the solution
The lunacy of one
Who made his contribution
A lone wolf and hunter
No sleepwalker passing by, passing by
Called in to test the gun
No, easier said than done
Go chase somebody else
Dive in that wishing well
Crawl, wouldn’t do it for you
Pay though we’re already through
Save all your dreams for tonight
Rush to the heavenly light
Cause here you have nothing to find
I’m ready to leave now
And God knows what I’ve done
My life has been no good
It’s time to say
Goodbye to all the misery
Goodbye to this whole history
Farewell to shadows in the dark
I’ll end this with a shot
So long, my brother, time has come
So long, I head for kingdom come
Farewell to sorrow and to pain
My time has come to sleep
So forgive me father, I have sinned
This must be the solution
The lunacy must be
What drives this institution
Of clowns known as cops
In this madhouse of fraud
This must be the solution
The lunacy of one
Who made his contribution
A lone wolf and hunter
No sleepwalker passing by, passing by
