This Must Be the Solution - Nils Patrik Johansson

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
