Territories Lyrics - Power Windows - Rush

I see the middle kingdom 

Between Heaven and Earth 

Like the Chinese call 

The country of their birth. 

We all figure that our homes 

Our homes are set above 

Other people than the ones 

The ones we know and love. 

In every place with a name 

They play the same territorial game 

Hiding behind the lines 

Sending up warning signs. 

The whole wide world 

An endless universe 

Yet we keep looking through 

The eyeglass in reverse.

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Don't feed the people 

But we feed the machines 

Can't really feel what 

International means. 

In different circles 

We keep holding our ground 

Indifferent circles 

We keep spinning 

Round and round. 

We see so many tribes 

Overrun and undermined 

While their invaders dream 

Of lands they've left behind. 

Better people, better food 

And better beer 

Why move around the world 

When Eden was so near? 

Photos 

The bosses get talking so tough 

And if that wasn't evil enough 

We get the drunken and passionate pride 

Of citizens along for the ride. 

The whole wide world 

An endless universe 

Yet we keep looking through 

The eyeglass in reverse. 

Don't feed the people 

But we feed the machines 

Can't really feel what 

International means. 

In different circles 

We keep holding our ground 

Indifferent circles we keep 

Spinning round and round and. 

They shoot without shame 

In the name of a piece of dirt 

For a change of accent 

Or the color of your shirt. 

Better the pride that resides 

In a citizen of the world 

Than the pride that divides 

When a colorful rag is unfurled. 

The whole wide world 

An endless universe 

Yet we keep looking through 

The eyeglass in reverse. 

Don't feed the people 

But we feed the machines 

Can't really feel what 

International mean. 

In different circles 

We keep holding our ground 

Indifferent circles we keep 

Spinning round and round and round.
