soul... dry I crushed my heart to ease their pains
powers he had Not of the best of men but ours
|Bbm C |Fm Ab |
No thought for me remains there
We used him we let him use his powers We
|Bbm Db |C C/B |
Nothing can they spare What of me?
let him fill our needs now we are strong
|Am |F |
Who praised their efforts to be free
And the road is coming to it's end

Words of strength and care and sympathy
Now the damned have no time to make amends

force you to be free And we can force you to believe

And I close my eyes and tighten up my brain for I once read a book in which the

lovers were slain for they knew
not the words of the free states refrain, 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 open my eyes to look around

And I see a child laid slain on the ground

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 and I want to believe

That a light's shining through somehow and I want to be-
