Ode To Liberty (The Protest Song) - Philip Lynott[00:00:00]
The dream was not a vision[00:00:37]
Or some preminition[00:00:41]
Like we were told[00:00:42]
It was no figment of the imagination[00:00:45]
To prove that we could[00:00:49]
Be bought or sold[00:00:51]
The doctor of the diamond run[00:00:53]
Could be revealed to the intellegent[00:00:56]
But this is what I resent[00:01:00]
Who cares for the ignorent [00:01:03]
The intellegent[00:01:06]
The synics approch was mean[00:01:09]
Who cares for anything[00:01:12]
In this whole wide world[00:01:15]
Except me[00:01:16]
And this opinion must not[00:01:20]
Confuse the issue[00:01:21]
My appearence my condition [00:01:24]
Or state of delivery[00:01:26]
I am stating the obvious[00:01:30]
This is a protest[00:01:34]
There must me a collusion[00:01:38]
This is no shakespearean speach[00:01:42]
This is a statement[00:01:47]
Made by one who can not[00:01:49]
Practice what he preaches[00:01:52]
The statue of liberty[00:02:07]
Has engraved on it's wall[00:02:10]
Give me your poor [00:02:15]
Give me your needy[00:02:17]
Give me them all[00:02:19]
We need something like this[00:02:23]
For this world to coexist[00:02:27]
It would be so easy[00:02:31]
To act so pretensious[00:02:34]
To act as if it was hepocracy[00:02:37]
To act condisending[00:02:42]
When in fact it's the[00:02:46]
World were mending[00:02:48]
And that's why I can't relax[00:02:51]
'Cause inside my coat[00:02:54]
It's a pistol that I pack[00:02:57]
We must beware of[00:03:00]
A suprise neuclear attack[00:03:02]
We must be ready[00:03:06]
To strike back[00:03:07]
I'm not pretending[00:03:11]
Our defense needs[00:03:14]
Clearly mending[00:03:15]
We must leave[00:03:17]
Those standing[00:03:18]
Forget the third[00:03:21]
World is ending[00:03:22]
Is starving is crying[00:03:26]
Is desolate is oh so late[00:03:43]
I would dearly love to return[00:03:57]
Through a mirror[00:04:01]
In twenty years[00:04:02]
And learn what the[00:04:04]
Future has in store for us[00:04:07]
And if I learned that we lost[00:04:13]
And there was no hope[00:04:17]
For those that fight[00:04:21]
I would turn to drink[00:04:24]
And drink is drugs[00:04:27]
And drugs would help me sink[00:04:31]
And like of boat I float[00:04:37]
I sail out to the sky[00:04:43]
To the universe and back[00:04:47]
Maybe to give it another try[00:04:52]
I don't know why why jack[00:04:55]
Just to confirm our father[00:05:01]
Just to learn just to heal us[00:05:05]
