Just People

Lyrics

Recall the nights outside a window<br />
Close the shades and start to laugh<br />
About the death of a friend dignity<br />
Who was killed on my behalf<br />
Having tasted poverty<br />
Just gold upon his tongue<br />
And while we waited rather patiently<br />
Skipping stones into the sun<br />
<br />
Oh All the trees have turned to logs<br />
Oh the logs have turned to smoke<br />
Which fills the air and our evolving lungs<br />
Now running out of hope<br />
We&rsquo;ll Survive<br />
Breathing without you<br />
Hear our sighs, Hear our sighs<br />
<br />
You know I want you<br />
I know I need you<br />
And yet the days are lost with endless breeze<br />
If you should leave, go on without me<br />
But Say Goodbye, Say Goodbye<br />
<br />
How the ending of the towers<br />
Sent a chill inside our spine<br />
While the cries for change grow louder<br />
They are deemed quite assanine<br />
We continue making guns<br />
As they continue taking lives<br />
until our fingers ache from trigger use<br />
Ears too numb to hear the lies<br />
<br />
I&rsquo;ll cast out our harmful sticks<br />
If you dispose of all your stones<br />
Oh Love will heal our open wounds and<br />
mend our broken bones<br />
We&rsquo;re still alive<br />
But we doubt you<br />
Can save the sky, save the sky<br />
<br />
You Know they want you<br />
You Know they fear you<br />
Respect is bought one bullet at a time<br />
If they were mine, I&rsquo;d throw them out dear<br />
And say Goodbye, Say goodbye<br />
<br />
How our soldiers die so honorably<br />
In glory though alone<br />
A siren screams &ldquo;Support Our Troops&rdquo;<br />
I do, let's bring them home<br />
Tell me all about the sins you seek<br />
How my beliefs do not exist<br />
While the bombs injected to our dreams<br />
are shackles on our wrists<br />
<br />
I&rsquo;ll throw down my liberal signs<br />
When you send back our Nation's youth<br />
Whose quest to find fictitious characters<br />
has failed to provide proof<br />
Oh it&rsquo;s a dive<br />
Please release the oil<br />
To save their lives, Save my life.<br />
<br />
You know we&rsquo;ll find you<br />
and then we&rsquo;ll catch you<br />
To expose in front of victory parades<br />
This charade, will never end dear<br />
Open your eyes, Say Goodbye<br />
<br />
How the magistrates and holy men<br />
digest their wine and cake<br />
as the homeless begging on the street<br />
choose which alley way to take<br />
They will never deal with poverty<br />
While breads upon their plate<br />
So throw the bread into the gutter<br />
legislations will be made<br />
<br />
Lets keep the food out of the streets<br />
Give them drugs to close their jaw<br />
then we&rsquo;ll throw them into prison cells<br />
for breaking substance laws<br />
If they&rsquo;re still alive<br />
When they get out here<br />
They won&rsquo;t survive<br />
Just let them die<br />
Cause You know you hate them<br />
oh they despise you<br />
A dollar spent to oppress those who can not own build a home, instead of bombs now<br />
build a home.<br />
<br />
Hey our hours are growing shorter<br />
though you&rsquo;ve convinced yourself they&rsquo;re not<br />
these shields made out of ignorance<br />
can&rsquo;t stop the ticking of the clock<br />
How death and life run hand in hand<br />
a secret they do keep<br />
and though desire is building constantly<br />
it is forever out of reach<br />
If you raise your hands and smile<br />
I could smile back at you<br />
and for maybe just one second<br />
we can split the hate in two<br />
And we will survive<br />
Down here without you<br />
So I say goodbye, Goodbye.<br />
<br />
