Riad N' The Bedouins
Had a plan and thought they'd win
But I don't give a fuck 'bout them
'Cause I am crazy

Oh, my salvation
N' all, my frustrations
Caught in the lies no one had wove as well
Somewhere in time where only I could tell, oh

Riad N' The Bedouins
Say that's a war that you can't win
But I have had enough of them
And who can blame me

Sent of time and desert winds
Nomads and barbarians
I won't bend my will to them
You aggravate me

Oh, my salvation
N' all, my frustrations
Caught in the lies no one had wove as well
Somewhere in time where only I could tell

Oh, sweet salvation
Like all, my frustrations
Caught up in lies no one had wove as well
Somewhere in time where only I could tell, oh

Oh, sweet salvation
And all, my frustrations
Caught in the lies, if you had wove so well
Somewhere in time, then only I could tell, oh

Riad N' The Bedouins
Had a plan and though they'd win
Riad N' The Bedouins
Crossed the line and lost again

    Riad = Love. Bedouins = Nomads. This song talks about how life is for wanderers and homeless people in the Middle East and how no one (especially in the Western world) really cares about them.

Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
