Who spoke of many powers, he had
Yea, and we slit the Catholic throat
I crushed my heart to ease their pains
Our weapons were the tongues of crying rage
Stoned the poor on slogans such as
We want to live
So much has gone and little is new
We want to live
But not hearing anymore
I want to live
It said
Sons of dirt
Dawn chorus for
I want to live
And as the sunrise stream
And I open my eyes to look around
Because of you, I need to rest, oh yea
Now we are strong
I gave them life
Where all is God, God is just a word
The silent guns of love will blast the sky
We want to live
And stabbed the backs of fathers
Wish you could hear
I ravaged at my finance just for those
Live
Plowing down man, woman, listening to its command
I braved their cause to guide, for little pay
Someone else to hear
And I close my eyes and tighten up my brain
And we can force you to be free
We broke the ruptured structure built of age
I will fight for the right to be right
In the madness that calls now
I opened doors that would have blocked their way
For they knew not the words of the free states' refrain
Words of strength and care and sympathy
Cut up your friend
Those whose promises stretched in hope and grace for me
Because of you, I need to rest
What of me?
And I don't want to believe
That a light's shining through
No purse of token fortune stands in our way
And so bitter
For I once read a book in which the lovers were slain
We planted seeds of rebirth
And we know the flag of love is from above
I love you badly, just in time, at times, I guess
I bless you madly, sadly as I tie my shoes
Not of the best of men, but our's
Because it's you that sets the test
They drained my very soul, dry
I want to live
Those who said a new world, new ways ever free
I want to live
Because it's you that sets the test
Not hearing anymore
I gave them all
Flickers on me
And I see a child laid slain on the ground
We used him
I want to live
We let him use his powers
Love is all we need
As a love machine lumbers through desolation rows
Of glory, untold dream
Somehow
We want to live
Now the damned have no time to make amends
And you want to believe
I believe in the power of good
Just the shrieks from the old rich
Kick out your mother
Hating through our sleeves
We want to live
And I don't want to believe
And we want to believe
Screw up your brother, or he'll get you in the end
I will kill for the good of the fight for the right to be right
The thinker sits alone growing older
I believe in the state of love
And we can force you to believe
I want to live
Live
And as the sparrow sings
And we want to live
And the road is coming to its end
My friends talk
Oh, we want to live
We had a friend, a talking man
Those whose claims were steeped in peace, tranquility
Nothing can they spare
Infiltrated business cesspools
And I want to believe
Who praised their efforts to be free?
Where money stood
Kick out the jams
No thought for me remains there
We let him fill our needs
So much has gone and little is new
