[00:32.41] I bless you madly, sadly as I tie my shoes
[00:40.10] I love you badly, just in time, at times, I guess
[00:49.04]
[00:50.86] Because of you I need to rest
[00:56.48]
[00:58.04] Because it's you that sets the test
[01:01.73]
[01:04.54] So much has gone and little is new
[01:12.06]
[01:12.81] And as the sparrow sings
[01:18.55] Dawn chorus for
[01:22.68] Someone else to hear
[01:27.12] The Thinker sits alone growing older
[01:38.35] And so bitter
[01:40.79]
[01:41.57] I gave Them life
[01:43.39] I gave Them all
[01:45.76] They drained my very soul...dry
[01:52.32] I crushed my heart to ease Their pains
[01:56.14] No thought for me remains there
[02:00.81]
[02:02.06] Nothing can They spare
[02:03.50]
[02:04.98] What of me?
[02:07.85]
[02:09.73] Who praised Their efforts to be free?
[02:16.17] Words of strength and care and sympathy
[02:22.35]
[02:23.79] I opened doors that would have blocked Their way
[02:28.22]
[02:30.29] I braved Their cause to guide, for little pay
[02:35.41]
[02:38.29] I ravaged at my finance just for Those
[02:42.20]
[02:44.39] Those whose claims were steeped in peace, tranquility
[02:49.20]
[02:52.01] Those who said a new world, new ways ever free
[02:56.34]
[02:57.71] Those whose promises stretched in hope and grace for me
[03:02.81]
[03:17.81] I bless you madly, sadly as I tie my shoes
[03:25.92] I love you badly, just in time, at times, I guess
[03:33.86]
[03:36.36] Because of you I need to rest, oh yes
[03:43.61] Because it's you that sets the test
[03:49.70]
[03:50.32] So much has gone and little is new
[03:58.48] And as the sunrise stream
[04:04.95] Flickers on me,
[04:10.51] My friends talk
[04:13.20] Of glory, untold dream, where all is God and God is just a word
[04:27.63] "We had a friend, a talking man
[04:31.63] Who spoke of many powers he had
[04:38.31] Not of the best of men, but Ours
[04:42.37] We used him
[04:43.31]
[04:43.84] We let him use his powers
[04:47.96] We let him fill Our needs
[04:50.53] Now We are strong
[04:55.03]
[04:55.65] And the road is coming to its end
[05:00.28]
[05:02.40] Now the damned have no time to make amends
[05:07.28]
[05:09.90] No purse of token fortune stands in Our way
[05:14.71]
[05:16.46] The silent guns of love will blast the sky
[05:21.53]
[05:24.21] We broke the ruptured structure built of age
[05:28.20]
[05:30.76] Our weapons were the tongues of crying rage
[05:38.01] Where money stood
[05:39.57] Planted We seeds of rebirth
[05:41.51]
[05:45.14] And stabbed the backs of fathers
[05:48.32] Sons of dirt
[05:49.89]
[05:52.82] Infiltrated business cesspools
[05:54.51]
[05:55.54] Hating through Our sleeves
[05:57.73]
[05:58.92] Yea, and We slit the Catholic throat
[06:02.10] Stoned the poor on slogans such as
[06:04.98] Wish You Could Hear
[06:06.14] Love Is All We Need
[06:07.64] Kick Out The Jams
[06:09.01] Kick Out Your Mother
[06:10.99] Cut Up Your Friend
[06:12.62] Screw Up Your Brother or He'll Get You In the End
[06:17.71] And We Know the Flag of Love is from Above
[06:23.53]
[06:24.96] And We Can Force You to Be Free
[06:28.53] And We Can Force You to Believe
[06:31.71]
[06:34.90] And I close my eyes and tighten up my brain
[06:37.70] For I once read a book in which the lovers were slain
[06:40.96] For they knew not the words of the Free States' refrain
[06:46.01] It said
[06:47.26] I believe in the Power of Good
[06:50.20] I Believe in the State of Love
[06:51.99]
[06:53.82] I Will Fight For the Right to be Right
[06:57.32] I Will Kill for the Good of the Fight for the Right to be Right
[07:03.87] And I open my eyes to look around
[07:07.24]
[07:09.30] And I see a child laid slain on the ground
[07:12.74]
[07:18.18] As a love machine lumbers through desolation rows
[07:25.01] Ploughing down man, woman, listening to its command
[07:29.76] But not hearing anymore
[07:32.20]
[07:33.19] Not hearing anymore
[07:35.16]
[07:40.47] Just the shrieks from the old rich
[07:44.16]
[07:48.66] And I Want to Believe
[07:51.97] In the madness that calls now
[07:53.46]
[07:55.67] And I want to Believe
[07:59.04] That a light's shining through
[08:00.95] Somehow
[08:02.82] And I Want to Believe
[08:05.95] And You Want to Believe
[08:08.88]
[08:09.63] And We Want to Believe
[08:13.01] And We Want to Live
[08:15.57]
[08:16.51] Oh, We Want to Live
[08:20.45] We Want to Live
[08:24.01] We Want to Live
[08:26.39]
[08:27.57] We Want to Live
[08:31.01] We Want to Live
[08:34.64] We Want to Live
[08:37.32]
[08:38.26] I Want to Live
[08:41.76] I Want to Live
[08:44.07]
[08:45.51] I Want to Live
[08:47.70]
[08:49.07] I Want to Live
[08:51.76]
[08:52.82] I Want to Live
[08:55.14]
[08:56.57] I Want to Live
[08:58.57]
[09:01.26] Live
[09:02.53]
[09:04.78] Live
[09:06.72]
[09:08.40] Liiive
