[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]
