Flying high in the friendly sky
Flying high without ever leavin' the ground, no Rest of the folks are tired and weary Oh Lord, and have laid their bodies down. I go the place where danger awaits me and it's bound to forsake me. So stupid minded. I can't help it oh ya, so stupid minded. But I go crazy when I can't find it, In the morning, I'll be alright, my friend. But soon the night will bring the pains, The pain, oh the pain Flying high in the friendly sky Without ever leaving the ground And I ain't seen nothing but trouble baby Nobody really understands, no no And I go to the place where the good feelin' awaits me Selfdestruction in my hand Oh Lord, so stupid minded Oh and I go crazy when I can't find it Well I know I'm hooked my friend To the boy who makes slaves out of men. And oh beleive me Flying high in a friendly sky Oh baby, flyin' high |

I just want to ask a question
Who really cares? To save a world in despair There'll come a time, when the world won't be singin' Flowers won't grow, bells won't be ringin' Who really cares? Who's willing to try to save a world That's destined to die When I look at the world it fills me with sorrow Little children today are really gonna suffer tomorrow Oh what a shame, such a bad way to live All who is to blame, we can't stop livin' Live, live for life But let live everybody Live life for the children Oh, for the children You see, let's save the children Let's save all the children Save the babies, save the babies If you wanna love, you got to save the babies All of the children But who really cares Who's willing to try Yes, to save a world Yea, save our sweet world Save a world that is destined to die Oh, la, la, la, la, la, la, la Oh, oh dig it everybody |
