It's not a matter of life or a matter of living,
it's not a matter of death or who's doing the killing,
it's not the blame of a wish that would never come true,
it's not you hating me, or me loving you,
it's not history repeating or a present day prophet.
We're just wrapped round a tree like aprom, night gone tragic.
And it wants, and it needs,
and it lives, and it breathes,
and it needs to be among us.
Well, how do you deal with the theft of a nation,
or the people who live there and the graves they've been digging?
when indifference becomes like [6 untranscribed syllables],
so make love to you as you lay down beside her.
And it wants, and it needs,
and it lives, and it breathes,
and it needs to be among us.
Well, sadness it is, just in case you were wonderin',
so don't bother asking for fear of me answering.
Just tuck in your kids kiss them and hug them,
and believe in a god if you think that it's worth it.
And it wants, and it needs,
and it lives, and it breathes,
and it needs to be among us
And it wants, and it needs,
and it lives, and it breathes,
and it needs to be among us,
it will always be among us.
There's a sadness that's among us.
it's not a matter of death or who's doing the killing,
it's not the blame of a wish that would never come true,
it's not you hating me, or me loving you,
it's not history repeating or a present day prophet.
