You could spend your time |
|
In a darkened room |
|
Just to gather folks opinions |
|
Can you stand the heat? |
|
Can you wrong the rights |
|
And I love you, thanks a million |
|
And if there's a god |
|
Let him strike you down |
|
Knowing that you can't deliver |
|
But you held me up |
|
And you hung me out |
|
And we're waiting still for you to bring |
|
Light to a darkened room |
|
But I know you will |
|
It'll make my day |
|
When I see your face |
|
On a dollar bill |
|
And they counted you out |
|
Then they counted you in |
|
And they're counting still |
|
And for all the lies you're about to tell |
|
May the lord make us |
|
Truely thankfull |
|
In a two horse race |
|
If you bet each way |
|
Could you maybe stay the distance |
|
And if I should hide |
|
From your puppeteers |
|
Will they make me look ridiculous |
|
Did you like the game |
|
Can you take the blame |
|
After all the dust has settled |
|
Did you ever hope |
|
For a hopeless world |
|
Hungry for the time that you'd bring a |
|
Light to a darkened room |
|
But I know you will |
|
It'll make my day |
|
When I see your face |
|
On a dollar bill |
|
And they counted you out |
|
Then they counted you in |
|
And they're counting still |
|
And for all the lies you're about to tell |
|
May the lord make us |
|
Truely thankfull |
|
We could talk all night |
|
Never touch the side |
|
But I don't mean to demean you |
|
Ever felt the cold |
|
When you saw the light |
|
Did the mirror show that dream of you |
|
All the endless miles |
|
And the babies smiles |
|
While the mothers pledge allegiance |
|
To uphold the wrong |
|
To opress the right |
|
Ready to sign up when you bring the |
|
Light to a darkened room |
|
But I know you will |
|
It'll make my day |
|
When I see your face |
|
On a dollar bill |
|
They counted you out |
|
Then they counted you in |
|
And they're counting still |
|
And for all the lies you're about to tell |
|
May the lord make us |
|
Truely thankfull |
