OZ - Stop Believin' from the 1983 release 'Fire In The Brain'
*LYRICS*
When you listen to the rumours today don't you ever think they tell lies?
When the politician speaks to you can see the pain in his eyes?
If you trust a man back he'll stab you in the back
and the wheel keeps turning on
just be prepared for an attack
and the heat keeps burning on
When the priest says: "I shall set your free"
Can you see his hand grabbin' cash?
Or the Generals in uniforms awaiting the final blast
If you break the law the law breaks you
and the wheel keeps turning on
a cute girl whispers: "I love you"
and the heat keeps burning on
These things are starting to drive me crazy
do you think it's really too far gone?
they sold us one too many dirty lies
What do you do?
You gotta stop believin'
Stop Believin'
When the soldier fights for his fatherland can you hear his desperate cries?
and behold the gamblers of the war, it doesn't matter if he dies
If he meets his end on the battlefield(??)
He will scream in agony
He was justified by our war machine
He would have stood his destiny
These things are starting to drive me crazy
do you think it's really too far gone?
they sold us one too many dirty lies
What do you do?
You gotta stop believin'
Stop Believin'
Fire in the brain was released in 1983. It is arguably one of the best releases ever by any Swedish or Finnish metal band. With such classics as Search Lights, Black Candles and Megalomaniac it is an album with no weak moments, a major advancement from their debut and it was well received, selling fairly good in the USA and Japan as well.
By then the music market in Finland was underdeveloped and the band decided to move to Sweden to test their strength there instead. Their record label was located in Sweden anyway, so it was a logical choice. Mark Ruffneck was the first of them to move to Stockholm and the rest of the OZ-men soon followed.
