I bless you madly,[00:00:31]
sadly as I tie my shoes[00:00:35]
I love you badly,[00:00:39]
Just in time, at times, I guess[00:00:42]
Because of you I need to rest[00:00:50]
Because it's you that sets the test[00:00:56]
So much has gone and little is new[00:01:04]
And as the sparrow sings[00:01:11]
Dawn chorus for[00:01:17]
Someone else to hear[00:01:21]
The Thinker sits alone growing older[00:01:26]
And so bitter[00:01:37]
"I gave Them life[00:01:41]
I gave Them all[00:01:43]
They drained my very soul[00:01:46]
...dry[00:01:48]
I crushed my heart to ease their pains[00:01:52]
No thought for me remains there[00:01:55]
Nothing can They spare[00:02:01]
What of me?[00:02:04]
Who praised their efforts to be free?[00:02:09]
Words of strength and care and sympathy[00:02:15]
I opened doors that would have blocked their way[00:02:23]
I braved their cause to guide, for little pay[00:02:29]
I ravaged at my finance just for those[00:02:37]
Those whose claims were steeped in peace, tranquility[00:02:43]
Those who said a new world, new ways ever free[00:02:51]
Those whose promises stretched in hope and grace for me"[00:02:57]
I bless you madly,[00:03:17]
sadly as I tie my shoes[00:03:20]
I love you badly, just in time, at times, I guess[00:03:25]
Because of you I need to rest, oh yes[00:03:35]
Because it's you that sets the test[00:03:44]
So much has gone and little is new[00:03:49]
And as the sunrise stream[00:03:57]
Flickers on me,[00:04:04]
My friends talk[00:04:10]
Of glory, untold dream,[00:04:12]
where all is God and God is just a word[00:04:18]
"We had a friend, a talking man[00:04:28]
Who spoke of many powers that he had[00:04:32]
Not of the best of men, but Ours[00:04:39]
We used him[00:04:42]
We let him use his powers[00:04:44]
We let him fill Our needs[00:04:49]
Now We are strong[00:04:52]
And the road is coming to its end[00:04:56]
Now the damned have no time to make amends[00:05:03]
No purse of token fortune stands in Our way[00:05:10]
The silent guns of love will blast the sky[00:05:17]
We broke the ruptured structure built of age[00:05:24]
Our weapons were the tongues of crying rage[00:05:31]
Where money stood[00:05:38]
We planted seeds of rebirth[00:05:40]
And stabbed the backs of fathers[00:05:45]
Sons of dirt[00:05:49]
Infiltrated business cesspools[00:05:52]
Hating through Our sleeves[00:05:55]
Yea, and We slit the Catholic throat[00:05:59]
Stoned the poor on slogans such as[00:06:02]
'Wish You Could Hear'[00:06:05]
'Love Is All We Need'[00:06:06]
'Kick Out The Jams'[00:06:08]
'Kick Out Your Mother'[00:06:10]
'Cut Up Your Friend'[00:06:12]
'Screw Up Your Brother or He'll Get You In the End'[00:06:14]
And We Know the Flag of Love is from Above[00:06:18]
And We Can Force You to Be Free[00:06:26]
And We Can Force You to Believe"[00:06:30]
And I close my eyes and tighten up my brain[00:06:36]
For I once read a book in which the lovers were slain[00:06:39]
For they knew not the words of the Free States' refrain[00:06:43]
It said:[00:06:47]
"I believe in the Power of Good[00:06:48]
I Believe in the State of Love[00:06:52]
I Will Fight For the Right to be Right[00:06:55]
I Will Kill for the Good of the Fight for the Right to be Right"[00:06:58]
And I open my eyes to look around[00:07:05]
And I see a child laid slain on the ground[00:07:10]
As a love machine lumbers through desolation rows[00:07:17]
Ploughing down man, woman, listening to its command[00:07:24]
But not hearing anymore[00:07:30]
Not hearing anymore[00:07:33]
Just the shrieks from the old rich[00:07:40]
And I Want to Believe[00:07:48]
In the madness that calls 'Now'[00:07:52]
And I want to Believe[00:07:56]
That a light's shining through[00:07:59]
Somehow[00:08:01]
And I Want to Believe[00:08:02]
And You Want to Believe[00:08:06]
And We Want to Believe[00:08:09]
And We Want to Live[00:08:12]
Oh, We Want to Live[00:08:16]
We Want to Live[00:08:20]
I want to live[00:08:40]
