Amen (So Be It)
Published by Sony Music / ATV Music Publishing Ltd. (p)+(c) 1999-2003.
I'm scared for my child, lord, for her mother
For what you people wanna do to one another
For the water, for the trees --
Man, I'm scared of pollution, of disease
And I'm scared that my child won't live a long time
With your murderin', rape and your drug money crime;
Scared of the drugs stealing youth from the young.
Well their life story; well that'll never be sung
And I pray my child lives happy and long,
And I hope she never will sing this song
And I pray, my child, live happy and long, Lord
And I hope she never will sing this song
Well as some men talk of peace now -- good intentions.
I'm only gonna look at his latest inventions.
Hope I'm wrong, Heard I'm right --
Man he could end it all tonight.
I know upon this night another village is burning;
Child lose their life as their first sun is turning;
Leaders of holocaust stand so tall;
Man it looks like there ain't no value in life at all...
Well I pray my child will live happy and long, Lord,
And I hope she never will sing this song
So lord please forgive me if my fear offend now --
It's just so hard to transcend now
Cause when i ran away from my bad dream
The child inside was too scared and screamed
Know you like to run away
Just a game you like to play
Pretend you're free for one day
And maybe give your heart away
And it might be good for you
So, whatever gets you true
So whatever gets you true
When an open fire just won't suffice
And your home's been built on sacrifice
Might sound good, but it is nice
And you rarely get to play with a rollin' dice
Like all those humans do
So whatever gets you true
So whatever gets you true
Know you like to stay out late
Waiting for some
revelate
I know you like your whiskey straight
So your mind can elevate
Well me, I like elevators too
So whatever gets you true
So whatever gets you true
Well me, I'm only human too
So whatever gets you true
So whatever gets you true
So whatever gets you true
TABS HERE AND HERE
So don't try to make me worry
Don't try to make me hurry
'Cos you know she'll always wait you see
You can't take that away from me
So don't try to make me run
For the false starting gun
'Cos you know she'll always wait you see
You can't take that away from me
Trying to make me run now for that midnight train
Just 'cos I'm standing here in the rain
Tryin' to tell me, making out you're about to go free
My clothes they may be torn
And my shoes they may be worn
No this is something she cares not to see
You can't take that away from me
And once I was scared this race would leave me behind
Now I'm stronger each day and it occurs to me
That it's all a state of mind
So don't try to make me run
For the false starting gun
'Cos you know she'll always wait you see
You can't take that away from me
Got this ancient sorrow
With everyone blaming each other for tomorrow
Brother against brother
When you were crying the wolves were at your door
But you're too shy, you hope there can't be much more
You say 'I have to go away'
I can no longer stay
I love you all so much
I hope we can stay in touch
But you never grow around here
Well all along there was this feeling of shame
That you were too young
So how can you be to blame
Can you can feel forgiven
For wantin' to do some living
I saw you leaving, leaving with the dawn
First to plead for your sanity, and then you're gone
Back on the road now just tryin' to keep your heart inside
Man I hope you keep it for the mile
And I said I want you, to want me
Well I want you, to need me
Cause everybody wants to feel needed some times
Has the game changed, have the rules changed
And as we’re getting older, is it getting colder
If you know, well if you know now, won’t you tell me
Summers coming soon, my heart’s been growing wild
I walk without planning, I walk just like a child
So go speed to somewhere, the world you can’t control
So runs the resurrection, the tired souls
And everybody wants to feel needed some times
The cold now don’t let go, and why I need to know it
The west wind been calling, my heart is falling
In love with my shoes, walk off these blues
World I have not seen, places I’ve not been
Cause everybody wants to feel needed some times
And I said I want you, to want me
And I want you, to need me
Cause everybody wants to feel needed some times
TABS AVAILABLE HERE AND HERE
Sweet suburban sky, gonna miss you if you burn
Curse you, when it's our turn, so come now wash your face
In water's full of grace, 'cause only time will tell,
When you'll be willing to sell, your body for one precious taste, then all is left to waste
Sweet suburban sky........
Doctor feels the pain, that caused the sickening rain,
But you continue to compromise, there won't be no alibis,
When there's no water to wash the burning sun from your eyes,
Sweet suburban sky......
So when you finally taste, all of the waste,
Sign of the time, you won't even call it a crime
The water's coming round again, maybe you'll be gone by then
But they won't thank our generation
For the ignorant inclination, cause when there's nowhere
left to hide, maybe then they'll call it genocide..
Girl I'm glad that you're around
Even if you are uptown
I'm downtown, I'm downtown
I know this city gets you down
But you're too proud to wear a crown
So come on down, yeah come on down
If you need a place to rest
Well I will do my very best
So come lay right down, lay right down
And if you can won't you come and see me
[Lyrics]
Rain came down on this town
'Cause I know goes up come down
Summer's bees they scattered and run
Trying to catch the sun
Summer's dream are all ending
Then I was
ascending
From away cross the winter sky
To where all the free
birds fly This is life, this is real
Summer's dark take all they can steal
So you bring the wine I'll bring the wood
For winter's fire
When you're not around baby...
Fishermen say that cross wind and foam
Candle burnin' in their home
Just to guide them in
For the warmth of their love again
harsh wind blows down on the street
No new faces to meet
Know that a faithful few
Who see the winter through
Mama sayin' now won't you hear the man come with the rainwater
Gonna pass between you and I
Mama sayin' now won't you hear the man come with the
pan water
Everytime now your heart runs dry
She's sayin' now won't you put it in your heart now go
Don't be standing around like you just don't know
It's gonna make you cry
She's sayin' now won't you put it in your heart and take it
'Cause I don't know how you're ever going to make it if you just that's why
Hear the man come with the rainwater
Gonna pass between you and I
Mama sayin' now won't you hear the man come with the
pan water
Everytime now your heart runs dry
She's sayin' now don't be looking at me, I ain't going nowhere
Take your time now cause I may care when I make you cry
Brother don' t fear the rain, brother don' t fear the rain
Well it's all over now, and we both know why
'Cause we burnt our bridges as we passed them by
Yeah it's over now, and the dream is broken
And all our bitter words, will have now been spoken
Well it's all over now, well it's better this way
'Cos long goodbyes well they eat your, your heart away
It's over now, well the cup is wasted
Spilt and sour look, for what's even tasted
For all that we had, well now there's more than us at stake
History's repetition it's just too much to take
So it's all over now, yeah life's better this way
Cos long goodbye's, well they've been eating our hearts away
It's over now, it's over now
It's over now, it's over now
