don't wanna be a martyr in this war
don't wanna hear the same excuses anymore
that everything's a threat and it's only gonna get wose if we let it
don't wanna blame the rich for what they got
don't point a finger at the poor for what they have not
though the politician and the priest live in the belly of the beast because we fed it
freedom is seldom found by beatin someone to the ground
tellin em how everything is gonna be now, yeah,
now if the tables were turned tell me how you would feel
somebody busted up into your house tellin you to stay still
while the leaders will deny defeat the innocent they testify by dyin in the street
freedom is seldom found by beatin someone to the ground
tellin em how everything is gonna be
freedom is seldom found by beatin someone to the ground
tellin em how everything is gonna be now
Careless
Amos Lee
You speak of love, but you ain't no lover
you were a friend, more like a brother
as the miles pass beneath me
the sounds made so sweetly came to an end
no man can deny her but now you're a liar
and you've no room left to defend
when i left i should have known better
of the kind of man that you are, you'd have to get her
and i know you got a lot of pain that's born inside you
but instead of growing stronger, you let it divide you, oh
how could you be so careless?
how could you be so careless?
and the waves that are crashing, true lives of passion washin on your shore
yes sir life has been costin true love's been lost and i can't get back anymore
and i'm sure that we both still both love her
and it's a shame we both lost her and in time lost eachother
but a trust has been broken and words have been spoken but you can mend
and no man can deny her and as you laid beside her i hope it felt good my friend
how could you be so careless?
how could you be so careless?
how could you be so careless with her heart?
