Over the Hills and Far Away Lyrics

Over the Hills and Far Away.

Throwing stones at the embassy,
policeman come and arrested me,
Paper at the university,
said I was a hero,
And the wise old judge that I went before,
wouldn't believe what I did it for,
Said this is no way to stop the war,
But, how the hell would he know?

Singing songs of dissolution,
ban the bomb and beat pollution,
Writing on walls about a revolution,
that's guaranteed to grow,
And I see on the news some identity,
with an old man's views on society,
Said there's no room for guys like me,
But, how the hell would he know?

CHORUS
Over the hills and far away,
I'm gonna understand one day,
What the other half believe in,
if it's real or just deceiving,
So until I find that day,
I'll go along my way,
And I'll look back on my life and I'll know I lived it right.
Lying down across the roadway,
almost lasted out the whole day,
Drivers trying but there was no way,
left for them to go,
And the wise old judge that we went before,
wouldn't believe what we did it for,
Said this is no way to help the poor,
But, how the hell would he know?

CHORUS
Over the hills and far away,
I'm gonna understand one day,
What the other half believe in,
if they're real or just deceiving,
So until I find that day,
I'll go along my way,
And I'll look back on my life and I'll know I lived it right.
1995 came quickly,
crept right up and now it's**** me,
Seems the mayor of a busy city,
don't know where the days go,
Build a bridge and move the highway,
spend the rest and mend the byways,
Someone wrote things across my driveway,
and someone broke my window,
And I see on the news some identity,
with a young man's views on society,
Said there's no room for guys like me,
But, how the hell would he know.

REPEAT CHORUS
The Fade Over the hills and far away,
merrily on my way.
