Every generation Blames the one before And all of their frustrations Come beating on your door I know that I'm a prisoner To all my Father held so dear I know that I'm a hostage To all his hopes and fears I just wish I could have told him in the living years Crumpled bits of paper Filled with imperfect thought Stilted conversations I'm afraid that's all we've got You say you just don't see it He says it's perfect sense You just can't get agreement In this present tense We all talk a different language Talking in defence Say it loud, say it clear You can listen as well as you hear It's too late when we die To admit we don't see eye to eye So we open up a quarrel Between the present and the past We only sacrifice the future It's the bitterness that lasts So Don't yield to the fortunes You sometimes see as fate It may have a new perspective On a different day And if you don't give up, and don't give in You may just be O.K. Say it loud, say it clear You can listen as well as you hear It's too late when we die To admit we don't see eye to eye I wasn't there that morning When my Father passed away I didn't get to tell him All the things I had to say I think I caught his spirit Later that same year I'm sure I heard his echo In my baby's new born tears I just wish I could have told him in the living years Say it loud, say it clear You can listen as well as you hear It's too late when we die To admit we don't see eye to eye |

I believe in Jesus his father's only son I do believe he sees us with the loaded gun. I believe in the magic Of the Mujahedin I still believe in Daniel Ortega the sun in Omega, the Lord of the Rings I believe in most everything. I believe, I believe I have a friend in England who says I must escape the meetings of Mao and Nixon it's an old debate. But I believe in the magic of the King and the Queen And I still have a young rebel's sympathy radical symphonies still have a ring I believe in most everything. I believe I fear this muddled thinking has to go some time I fear this sinking feeling's not the best of signs I feel I'm in trouble as the Eighties close I look to the future I'm frightened, I'm scared U suppose. You may think it's foolish that I still believe in love You laugh and you sneer -it's cruel It's what I'm thinking of. I believe in the magic in the power of the soul one to one's my equation that carries the nation on to the goal we're all brothers and sisters, I'm told. I believe, I believe, I believe in love do you believe what you're seeing Oh I believe in love. I believe in love I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe in love. |

There is nothing wrong with me there's nothing wrong with you maybe we're just blind to see each other's point of view. Nobody knows what we had. You could do much better, you could do much worse than me. I could have walked right out on you there was nothing stopping me Nobody knows what we had. We were running of passion we were running out of time there's a face to fit the future there's a face to fit the crime. Now the truth is on the table and the ghost is plain to see there's nothing wrong with you or me. I won't live in your world, you can't live in mine We don't hate each other darlin' we just gave up trying. Nobody knows what we had. Maybe I'm not crying maybe I don't mind But it hurts just knowing your children won't be mine. Nobody knows what we had. |

While you're defending yourself maybe you'd like to explain are you a king for a day is it some ancient campaign Warpaint your flag on your face Gather the troops on the line you never made a mistake There at the scene of the crime. Chorus: blood on your hands blood on your feet down in the pouring rain what do you care out on the street we're gonna drive you insane nobody else to blame for all that. Where are the angry young men where are the fighters or yore looking for trouble again looking to settle a score. Why do you reincarnate why will you always be here pour out a nation of hate pour out an ocean of tears. (Chorus) Nobody questions the power elite who's gonna take up the strain nobody else to blame! |

These are dangerous times that were living in and there are dangerous signs that were giving in to fear late one night, I'm lying here I thought I heard a sound. Tell the mothers and the babes tell the old, tell the sick they will be safe get the young males. Tell them to be brave I was so concerned with saving live I never saw you pull the knife. High on the mountains across seven seas All of the people why me, why me? Do you feel so frustrated Frightened and feared answer my question Why me, why me, why me why me, why me, why me? You're such an angry young man with all your grievances people don't understand, they just can't understand what you must do to stay alive. So you try to justify all the violence and hate, before your eyes. Through the ages better men than you have tried to give what is not theirs to give to take the land where others live. High on the mountains across seven seas all of the people why me, why me? Do you feel so frustrated frightened and feared answer my question why here, why now, why here, why now, hey here, why now, why me? Oh, for now you have the power the guns and all the swords but nature has a nasty habit of balancing her flaws. Now you may try to break my body lock me up and throw away the key but you'll never break my spirit I'm free! |
