Sacred Cowboys Lyrics by Bruce Dickinson

Sacred Cowboys Lyrics

    (woo, hey)
    Mira, mira, mira, andale, andale, yeah-ow!

    [Spoken:]
    With a sense of irony, everyone you see
    Is chasing their illusions
    Take a dive, or sink, or swim
    But in the end you're in the same pollution
    In your world, escape is swift
    The nonsense list is all you need to know
    In the land of dreams, you make the right connections
    Then you'll be the hero...ecstasy
    The cult of 'me' provides our institutions
    You can live forever with a grave that stands
    Where people used to function
    You can join the saviors of our culture
    Vultures circling overhead my sky
    Like the sin of gluttony won't set you free
    (But Betty Ford can help you try)

    You can get all the things you never needed
    You can sell people crap and make them eat it

    But where is our John Wayne?
    Where's our sacred cowboy now?
    Where are the Indians on the hill?
    There's no Indians left to kill

    [Spoken:]
    People die with oxygen
    And all their money can't afford a breath
    People starving everywhere
    And staring in the face of death
    Prostitutes and politicians
    Lying in their bed together
    You can be the savior of the poor
    Making up the policies to open up the back door...

    You can get all the things you never needed
    You can sell people crap and make them eat it

    Where is our John Wayne?
    Where's our sacred cowboys now?
    Where are the Indians on the hill?
    There's no Indians left to kill

    Where is our John Wayne?
    Where's our sacred cowboy now?
    Where are the Indians on the hill?
    There's no Indians left to kill

    You can get all the things you never needed
    You can sell people crap and make them eat it
    Eat it

    There is no John Wayne
    Where's our sacred cowboys now?
    Where are the Indians on the hill?
    There's no Indians left to kill

    Where is our John Wayne?
    Where's our sacred cowboy now?
    Where are the Indians on the hill?
    There's no Indians left to...
    Kill
