They come, they take
|
It's never enough because they can't relate
|
To the real world,
|
thinking that the oyster is just for the pearl
|
They start those wars
|
They want to own the land sea and all the stars
|
And right those wrongs
|
They change their history with their poison forked tongues
|
|
All right, whos they?
|
A maybe it's the government of today
|
Or B for the big business man who thinks the whole world revolves around him
|
Or C for the corrupt official for A and B he be the man in the middle
|
Or D for discoverer for Cook and Columbus and the pirate plunderers
|
|
Doesn't mean I ain't gonna fight now
|
Just because I don't got a gun
|
The lyrical is heavier than lead and
|
This guitar is my canon
|
Just like my Martin and Mahatma
|
I'm gonna love I'm gonna over come
|
Maybe it's E for all of the above
|
But I don't want to be
|
|
Wrong way going down the one way road
|
Wrong way going down the one way road
|
Wrong way going down the one way road
|
Gonna turn it all around gonna back it on up
|
Wrong way going down the one way road
|
Wrong way going on a one way road
|
Wrong way going down the one way road
|
Gonna turn it all around gonna back it on up
|
|
These men, who they say we should follow
|
But we can't follow men if their hearts are hollow and
|
Mmmm yes how can we respect puppet regimes that we do not elect?
|
Straight up straight up staight up like Pinocchio
|
And every time they lie man the fire just grows so
|
Nows time to be part of the solution
|
Raise your fist if you believe in revolution
|
|
Doesn't mean I ain't gonna fight now
|
Just because I don't got a gun
|
The lyrical is heavier than lead and
|
This guitar is my canon
|
Just like my Martin and Mahatma
|
I'm gonna love I'm gonna over come
|
Maybe it's E for all of the above
|
But I don't want to be
|
|
Livin' in a pantomime
|
Livin' in the fantasy
|
I don't wanna be don't wanna be
|
I don't wanna be don't wanna be no
|
Livin' in a pantomime
|
Livin' in the fantasy
|
I don't wanna be don't wanna be
|
I don't wanna be don't wanna be no
|
|
Wrong way going down the one way road
|
Wrong way going down the one way road
|
Wrong way going down the one way road
|
Gonna turn it all around gonna back it on up
|
Wrong way going down the one way road
|
Wrong way going on a one way road
|
Wrong way going down the one way road
|
Gonna turn it all around gonna back it on up
