> Know you like to run away Just a game you like to play Pretend you're free for one day And maybe give your heart away And it might be good for you So, whatever gets you true So whatever gets you true When an open fire just won't suffice And your home's been built on sacrifice Might sound good, but it is nice And you rarely get to play with a rollin' dice Like all those humans do So whatever gets you true So whatever gets you true Know you like to stay out late Waiting for some relevate I know you like your whiskey straight So your mind can elevate Well me, I like elevators too So whatever gets you true So whatever gets you true Well me, I'm only human too So whatever gets you true So whatever gets you true So whatever gets you true
Well, I'm scared for my child, Lord, for her mother For what you people wanna do to one another For the water, for the trees Man, I'm scared of pollution, well, of disease
And I'm scared that my child won't live a long time With your murderin', rape and your drug money crime And I'm scared of the drugs stealing youth from the young Well, their life story, well, that'll never be sung
Well, I pray my child lives happy and long, Lord And I hope she never will sing this song And I pray, my child, live happy and long, Lord And I hope she never will sing this song
Well as some men talk of peace now, good intentions I'm only gonna look at his latest inventions And I hope I'm wrong, heard I'm right Well, he could end it all tonight
Man I know upon this night another village is burning Child lose their life as their first sun is turning Leaders of holocaust stand so tall Man it looks like there ain't no value on life at all
Well, I pray my child will live happy and long, Lord My hope she never will sing this song And I pray, my child, live happy and long, Lord And I hope she never will sing this song
So Lord please forgive me if my fear offend now It's just so hard to transcend now 'Cause when I ran away from my bad dream And the child inside was too scared and screamed
So Lord please forgive me if my fear offend now It's just so hard to transcend now 'Cause when I ran away from my bad dream And the child inside was too scared and screamed
Well, I pray my child will live happy and long, Lord And I hope she never will sing this song Well, I pray, my child, live happy and long, Lord And I hope she never will sing this song

> So don't try to make me worry Don't try to make me hurry 'Cos you know she'll always wait you see You can't take that away from me So don't try to make me run For the false starting gun 'Cos you know she'll always wait you see You can't take that away from me Trying to make me run now for that midnight train Just 'cos I'm standing here in the rain Tryin' to tell me, making out you're about to go free My clothes they may be torn And my shoes they may be worn No this is something she cares not to see You can't take that away from me And once I was scared this race would leave me behind Now I'm stronger each day and it occurs to me That it's all a state of mind So don't try to make me run For the false starting gun 'Cos you know she'll always wait you see You can't take that away from me
> Got this ancient sorrow With everyone blaming each other for tomorrow Brother against brother When you were crying the wolves were at your door But you're too shy, you hope there can't be much more You say 'I have to go away' I can no longer stay I love you all so much I hope we can stay in touch But you never grow around here Well all along there was this feeling of shame That you were too young So how can you be to blame Can you can feel forgiven For wantin' to do some living I saw you leaving, leaving with the dawn First to plead for your sanity, and then you're gone Back on the road now just tryin' to keep your heart inside Man I hope you keep it for the mile
> And I said I want you, to want me Well I want you, to need me Cause everybody wants to feel needed some times Has the game changed, have the rules changed And as we're getting older, is it getting colder If you know, well if you know now, won't you tell me Summers coming soon, my heart's been growing wild I walk without planning, I walk just like a child So go speed to somewhere, the world you can't control So runs the resurrection, the tired souls And everybody wants to feel needed some times The cold now don't let go, and why I need to know it The west wind been calling, my heart is falling In love with my shoes, walk off these blues World I have not seen, places I've not been Cause everybody wants to feel needed some times And I said I want you, to want me And I want you, to need me Cause everybody wants to feel needed some times
> Sweet suburban sky, gonna miss you if you burn Curse you, when it's our turn, so come now wash your face In water's full of grace, 'cause only time will tell, When you'll be willing to sell, your body for one precious taste, then all is left to waste Sweet suburban sky........ Doctor feels the pain, that caused the sickening rain, But you continue to compromise, there won't be no alibis, When there's no water to wash the burning sun from your eyes, Sweet suburban sky...... So when you finally taste, all of the waste, Sign of the time, you won't even call it a crime The water's coming round again, maybe you'll be gone by then But they won't thank our generation For the ignorant inclination, cause when there's nowhere left to hide, maybe then they'll call it genocide..
> Girl I'm glad that you're around Even if you are uptown I'm downtown, I'm downtown I know this city gets you down But you're too proud to wear a crown So come on down, yeah come on down If you need a place to rest Well I will do my very best So come lay right down, lay right down And if you can won't you come and see me
> Rain came down on this town 'Cause I know goes up come down Summer's bees they scattered and run Trying to catch the sun Summer's dream are all ending Then I was asending From away cross the winter sky To where all the freebirds fly This is life, this is real Summer's dark take all they can steal So you bring the wine I'll bring the wood For winter's fire When you're not around baby... Fishermen say that cross wind and foam Candle burnin' in their home Just to guide them in For the warmth of their love again harsh wind blows down on the street No new faces to meet Know that a faithful few Who see the winter through
> Mama sayin' now won't you hear the man come with the rainwater Gonna pass between you and I Mama sayin' now won't you hear the man come with the panwater Everytime now your heart runs dry She's sayin' now won't you put it in your heart now go Don't be standing around like you just don't know It's gonna make you cry She's sayin' now won't you put it in your heart and take it 'Cause I don't know how you're ever going to make it if you just that's why Hear the man come with the rainwater Gonna pass between you and I Mama sayin' now won't you hear the man come with the panwater Everytime now your heart runs dry She's sayin' now don't be looking at me, I ain't going nowhere Take your time now cause I may care when I make you cry Brother don' t fear the rain, brother don' t fear the rain
> Well it's all over now, and we both know why 'Cause we burnt our bridges as we passed them by Yeah it's over now, and the dream is broken And all our bitter words, will have now been spoken Well it's all over now, well it's better this way 'Cos long goodbyes well they eat your, your heart away It's over now, well the cup is wasted Spilt and sour look, for what's even tasted For all that we had, well now there's more than us at stake History's repetition it's just too much to take So it's all over now, yeah life's better this way Cos long goodbye's, well they've been eating our hearts away It's over now, it's over now It's over now, it's over now
