(Vs. 1) |
|
politics or love |
|
can make you blind or make you see |
|
make you a slave or make you free |
|
but only one does it all |
|
and it's giving up your life |
|
for the ones you hate the most |
|
it's giving them your gown |
|
when they've taken your clothes |
|
it's learning to admit |
|
when you've had a hand in setting them up |
|
in knocking them down |
|
(chorus) |
|
love is not against the law |
|
love is not against the law |
|
(vs. 2) |
|
are we defending life |
|
when we just pick and choose |
|
lives acceptable to lose |
|
and which ones to defend |
|
'cause you cannot choose your friends |
|
but you choose your enemies |
|
and what if they were one |
|
one and the same |
|
could you find a way |
|
to love them both the same |
|
to give them your name |
|
(chorus) |
