I hope you're only joking
I can't believe it's true
Can't take away my freedom
I know it's nothing new
It doesn't touch your conscience
To jumble up my mind
A two-way stretch ?it not perfect?
No matter what you find
The feeling is relentless
There's nothing you can prove
I'm meeting with the roughnecks
Forget about the smooth
When everything's permitted
Authority to kill
A sudden way to c**tivate
Destruction of the will (could be 'over will')
Could've been a contender - Though the chances were slender
You gave me the gun - The man has no time
When sweet things go sour - Keep your ?carols? in power
Now that's what I call the great divide!
I'm looking for a reason
I'll help you let me go
Don't b*** the hand that feeds them
If you've nothing more to show
With every step that's taken
You're nearer to the end
A void that's smart and full of heart
A nation to defend
It seems to get me going
But maybe I'm a fool
I've hurt you without knowing
Stop it's showing as a rule
Accept your points are valid
Run away from 1 to 10 (or Run the way)
Ignore it or try not to force
Step forward once again
Could've been a contender - Though the chances were slender
You gave me the gun - The man has no time (or the matter has no tide.. I have
no idea what he's saying there)
When sweet things go sour - Keep your ?carols?(colonels) in power
Now that's what I call the great divide!
