I Bless You Madly, Sadly As I Tie My Shoes I Love You Badly, Just In Time, At Times, I Guess Because Of You I Need To Rest Because It's You That Sets The Test So Much Has Gone And Little Is New And As The Sparrow Sings Dawn Chorus For Someone Else To Hear The Thinker Sits Alone Growing Older And So Bitter I Gave Them Life I Gave Them All They Drained My Very Soul...dry I Crushed My Heart To Ease Their Pains No Thought For Me Remains There Nothing Can They Spare What Of Me? Who Praised Their Efforts To Be Free? Words Of Strength And Care And Sympathy I Opened Doors That Would Have Blocked Their Way I Braved Their Cause To Guide, For Little Pay I Ravaged At My Finance Just For Those Those Whose Claims Were Steeped In Peace, Tranquility Those Who Said A New World, New Ways Ever Free Those Whose Promises Stretched In Hope And Grace For Me I Bless You Madly, Sadly As I Tie My Shoes I Love You Badly, Just In Time, At Times, I Guess Because Of You I Need To Rest, Oh Yes Because It's You That Sets The Test And As The Sunrise Stream So Much Has Gone And Little Is New Flickers On Me, Of Glory, Untold Dream, Where All Is God And God Is Just A Word My Friends Talk Who Spoke Of Many Powers He Had "we Had A Friend, A Talking Man Not Of The Best Of Men, But Ours We Used Him We Let Him Use His Powers Now We Are Strong We Let Him Fill Our Needs And The Road Is Coming To Its End Now The Damned Have No Time To Make Amends No Purse Of Token Fortune Stands In Our Way The Silent Guns Of Love Will Blast The Sky We Broke The Ruptured Structure Built Of Age Our Weapons Were The Tongues Of Crying Rage Where Money Stood We Planted Seeds Of Rebirth And Stabbed The Backs Of Fathers Sons Of Dirt Infiltrated Business Cesspools Yea, And We Slit The Catholic Throat Hating Through Our Sleeves Wish You Could Hear Stoned The Poor On Slogans Such As Kick Out The Jams Love Is All We Need Cut Up Your Friend Kick Out Your Mother Screw Up Your Brother Or He'll Get You In The End And We Know The Flag Of Love Is From Above And We Can Force You To Be Free And We Can Force You To Believe And I Close My Eyes And Tighten Up My Brain For They Knew Not The Words Of The Free States' Refrain For I Once Read A Book In Which The Lovers Were Slain It Said I Believe In The Power Of Good I Believe In The State Of Love I Will Fight For The Right To Be Right I Will Kill For The Good Of The Fight For The Right To Be Right And I See A Child Laid Slain On The Ground And I Open My Eyes To Look Around As A Love Machine Lumbers Through Desolation Rows Ploughing Down Man, Woman, Listening To Its Command But Not Hearing Anymore Not Hearing Anymore Just The Shrieks From The Old Rich In The Madness That Calls Now And I Want To Believe And I Want To Believe That A Light's Shining Through Somehow And I Want To Believe And You Want To Believe And We Want To Believe And We Want To Live Oh, We Want To Live We Want To Live We Want To Live We Want To Live We Want To Live We Want To Live I Want To Live I Want To Live I Want To Live I Want To Live I Want To Live I Want To Live Live Live Liiive
