You want love
You get hate
You push and shove
You know you just can't wait
You've had your fun
You don't fool no one

You build it up
To tear it down
You're running out of luck
I won't get kicked around
I could drive all night
Till you're out of sight

Hide and seek
Turning on the heat
Running like a cadillac (like a cadillac)
I'm so sick and tired
You're a damn dirty liar
When I run I said I ain't coming back

Oh, you better beware
Keep on rocking this house, baby, I don't care
Breaking out this jailhouse, going nowhere
I ain't ready for no rockin' chair

When you came
You play rough
Now I know your game
And you ain't tough enough
Don't know what you've done
'Cause you ain't begun

You fool with me
You're going to lose
You've got to understand
That you don't get to choose
When night comes around
I can't be found

Red sky burning
Won't be no returning
So long
Fire up the motor
Don't you get no closer
I'm gone

I don't need no rockin' chair
I don't want no rockin' chair
I don't need no rockin' chair
I don't want no rockin' chair

I've seen plenty of trouble
Never been any different I know
You've got to run on the double
Keep your eye on the chariot low
Mama let your garden grow

Can't fall down, never give in
A lucky star could be following you
You've got to show a little giving
Every day when it's possible to
Mama make my grey sky blue

Just keep those wheels turning
And keep your love burning
If I'm running wild, follow me
Maybe we're still learning
Sometimes we're still hurting
Just like a child comfort me

We grew up by the mountain
Dirty marks in the palm of our hands
We got the eye for accounting
We got the pain of a family man
Mama help us all you can

Well, he was born, his father's pride and joy
His young life scored before it began
Dressed up in blue, his mother's only boy
Someday this child would have to be a man

He went to school, shiny and white as pearl
They did not teach things he should learn
Things he would need in this deceitful world
Which way to run or which way to turn

He became strong, everyone looked to him
One of the boys, a beacon in the night
And when he spoke, people would gather in
They would stay close, he'd make them feel all right

One, one precious life
Only a memory tonight
One, one precious life
Only a memory to light
The years of tenderness
Make them burn bright

He wasn't scared, he had no fear at all
Said his goodbyes and marched off to war
And as he looked back, he heard his mother call
Said she'd be waiting at heaven's door

Soon to be killed, left on a muddy field
And all of his thoughts were scattered just like seeds
And he never knew, threw up his arms and reeled
He felt no pain, his heart start to bleed

No promises to keep
Won't lose an hours sleep
Talks fast but makes no sense
The mask of innocence

Turns on the golden light
Perception clear and bright
He don't need no crystal ball
He don't need no one at all

He's a reckless man
He won't crack as a matter of fact
He's a political man
He's got blood on his hands

He thinks he wrote the book
Just take a second look
He reads it everyday
Then tells it anyway

Tell me how long you will take
Trying to make up your mind
Maybe it's already too late
I'll just be left behind
For right or wrong, baby, still I hold on
Don't let it burn down in flames

It's a matter of survival
A matter of survival that we're apart
That's all we live and die for
I wish someone would tell it to your heart

So scared when I walk to your door
I saw you turn out the light
I can't take this hurt any more
I shout it out to the night
Living without you ain't living at all
Tell me how do I get by?

I walk the streets in the night
I feel your spirit deep inside
It comes with the darkness, stays till the light
I got to face it, there's nowhere to hide

I can read between the lines
Understand what's on your mind
There's a storm about to break
You just can't wait

Stand up
Hear me out
Stand up
Hear what I'm talking about
I'm confused
You can't lose

What kind of love is this?
When I can't defend myself?
What kind of love is this?
Got to look for help

Now we're running out of time
And no matter how I try
All the colours turn to black
You can't get back

What you going to do on your own?
Even wonder should you ever go home
Here come those feelings, can't be right
You think nobody's going to miss you tonight

Mistrusted, heartbroke and busted
So where's the justice?

Going to be all right when love comes around
No hurricane wind blowing could slow you down
You'll be all right when love comes around

You say that you've never known
The kind of love that gets down deep in your soul
You're still reeling from the fight
You wouldn't know it, if it hit you tonight

And I will never know the questions you're asking
I know nothing at all
How can you stand upon the judgement you're passing
When you don't even know the cause?

You take a dangerous line
Holding a loaded gun
It's just a matter of time
Before you hurt someone
So keep your running shoes close
And sing your rebel song
Then disappear like a ghost
The hunter won't be long

Don't you know there's no forgiving
Like a rabbit on the run?
When you have to go on living
By the gun

Well, go on, shoot
Someone cries, that's the beginning
Go on, shoot
Justify the blood you're spilling
Come on, shoot
Show the world that you're not kidding

All gather deep in the earth
A careless light betrays
Be feared, the devil, he's at work
No place to end your days
To hold the balance of the fight
And scream your heart's desire
Don't give you automatic right
To quench the holy fire

Its another long night
Ain't no heart in this town
without pity
Where's not enough love
It's tough
In this part of the city
Somebody cries
Tonight we ride
We'll take you to the other side

Hear me mother, will day ever come?
Say a prayer for your wayward son
If I could, I would run
But there's no way out, no way out, no way out
Ain't we born to be free

On the far side of town
With the rain falling down
She stands waiting
It don't seem right
She cries to the night
Her heart breaking
She can hear his words
Still see his face
It takes her to another place

Hear me father, just what will it take?
Give me an answer before it's too late
How to make an escape
Is there no way out, no way out, no way out
Ain't we born to be free

I'm standing in your doorway
Like I've done a thousand times
I keep waiting for an answer
That don't come
I can get through anything
Live through any storm life can bring
But when it comes to losing you
There's nothing I can do

But cry for you, baby
Die every time that I hear your name
Don't know what to do
A man shouldn't cry like I cry for you
Ever since you said goodbye
Baby, every single night, I cry for you

I keep staring at your window
Trying to see through your walls
'Cause the walls we build
Ain't always made of stone
I'm standing out in the rain
Knowing I can't touch you again
It's the hardest thing to take
The thought of it makes me

Blame it on pride, my fatal mistake
'Cause I never stopped loving you
No, I never said a word, I just let you go
Now I'm paying for it all

New broom had swept and did collect
A thousand tears from far and near
The time had come, the chosen one
A welcome guest by children blessed

The doors unlocked, the walls are down
No more to wear the thorny crown
The game is up, no fooling now
The power is on for everyone

He was born to be king
Alone in peace he'd bring
He was born to be king
Look down to teach and sing
Justify everything
He was born to be king

He was born to be king
He was born to be king
He was born to be king
He was born to be king

He was born to be king
He was born to be
He was born to be king
He was born to be
He was born
He was born
He was born
He was born
He was born
He was born
He was born
Born, he was born
He was born
He was born
He was born
He was born

Your dreams might get broken tonight
Move closer, you're walking on ice
Your dreams might get broken tonight

Where do you run to?
Where do you disappear?
Where do you run to?
How do you get out of here, out of here?

You got what you wanted
Wanted to be someone
Got what you wanted
Think you don't need no one

Don't know where
Don't know when
Say your prayers
It's your last again

Your dreams might get broken tonight
Move closer, you're walking on ice
Your dreams might get broken tonight
Only tonight, only tonight

Where do you run to?
Where do you run to?

Don't look down again
Shine a magic light
Across the silver plain
Well, there's something wrong tonight

Hooded heads fly by
The strangers' bears a knife
Once the wind does cry
You had better pray not fight

Riders stir the dust
Fire across the sky
A sacrifice is just
Someone's going to die
Hanging tree does creep
It's bitterness runs deep
The words of mercy speak
This weeping tree won't sleep

Across the sea of hate
Where did it begin?
The greed of hearts misplace
The brave and different skin

Cannons roared, in the valley they thundered
While the guns lit up the night
Then it rained and both sides wondered
Who is wrong and who is right?

On the wire like a ragged old scarecrow
Bloody hands and broken back
When they fire, see him pirouette solo
Jump in time to the rat-a-tat

What a night though it's one of seven
What a night for the dancing dead
What a night to be called to heaven
What a picture to fill your head

By the wall in silhouette standing
Through a flash of sudden light
Cigarette from his mouth just hanging
Paper square to his heart pinned tight

Gather round reluctant marksmen
One of them to take his life
With a smile he gives them pardon
Leaves the dark and takes the light

They dispatch their precious cargo
And knock him back right off his feet
And they pray may no one follow
Better still to face the beast

When the field has become a garden
And the wall has stood the test
Children play and the dogs run barking
Who would think or who would guess?
