Braved their cause to guide for little pay
My friends talk of glory, untold dream
For they knew not the words of the free states' refrain
The thinker sits alone growing older and so bitter
For I once read a book in which the lovers were slain
We had a friend, a talking man
And I want to believe in the madness that calls now
We let him fill our needs, now we are strong
We used him, let him use his powers
As a love machine lumbers through desolation rows
And I open my eyes to look around
And as the sparrow sings
And our weapons, where are the tongues of crying rage?
And I see a child laid slain on the ground
Because of you I need to rest, oh yeah
"Wish you could hear, love is all we need"
Because it's you that sets the test
I gave them life, I gave them all
No thought for me remains there
And I close my eyes and tighten up my brain
Now the damned have no time to make amends
Cut up your friend and screw up your brother
We can force you to believe
Stoned the poor on slogans such as
Because of you I need to rest
We crush [Incomprehensible]
Hating through our sleeves
Our silent guns of love will blast the sky
The words of care and strength and sympathy
I want to live, oh, I want to live
No purse of token fortune stands in our way
I crushed my heart to ease their pains
Who praised their efforts to be free?
But not hearing anymore, not hearing anymore
We can force you to be free
And we know the flag of love is from above
I want to live, I want to live
Because it's you that sets the test
So much has gone and little is new
Not of the best of men but ours
Those who said [Incomprehensible] for me
We want to live, we want to live
I will fight for the right to be right
And as the sunrise stream flickers on me
Ravaged at my finance just for those
I will kill for the good of the fight, for the right to be right"
Where money stood, we planted seeds of rebirth
I love you badly, just in time, at times, I guess
I bless you madly, sadly as I tie my shoes
Or he'll get you in the end
Where all is God and God is just a word
Ploughing down man, woman, listening to its command
Just the shrieks from the old rich
Those who promised [Incomprehensible] faith in me
I believe in the state of love
I opened doors that would have blocked their way
Infiltrated business cesspools
He spoke of many powers he had
They drained my very soul dry
Yeah, and we slit the catholic throat
So much has gone and little is new
And I want to believe there's a light shining through somehow
Dawn chorus for someone else to hear
"I believe in the power of good
Kick out the jams and kick out your mother
And the road is coming to its end
Those who's promised [Incomprehensible] tranquility
And I want to believe, and you want to believe
It said
And we stabbed the backs of fathers, sons of dirt
And we want to believe, and we want to live
Nothing do they care, what of me?
