Blue Rodeo - It Could Happen To You lyrics

rate me

They broke off the locks and they opened the doors<br />

Pushed out the windows and painted the floors<br />

Raised up the roof 'till it touched the sky<br />

Grew a little garden outside in the rust and sand<br />

Picked up the pieces that were left to die<br />

Brought this building back with a healing hand<br />

<br />

You're bound to move in on the double<br />

'Cause you leave your mark upon everything<br />

In your head those Liberty Bells still ring<br />

When you see trouble<br />

<br />

But we know that you don't even mean a thing you say<br />

So you brought in the army to do your job<br />

Of kicking in doors and swinging their clubs<br />

Back in the morning to watch<br />

Themselves on the news<br />

You're doing the bidding of the money man<br />

<br />

If it turns out right they'll call you 'friend'<br />

One little favor how could you really refuse<br />

Oh my heart is sinking<br />

Same old useless, worn out thinking<br />

You live your life in the court of kings<br />

Bow to the ruler and kiss the ring<br />

But we don't even understand a thing you say<br />

<br />

It could happen to you...<br />

Sometime when you least expect it<br />

It could happen to you...<br />

It could happen to you<br />

Done by the ones that you never suspected<br />

It could happen to you<br />

All your bills come due<br />

You really got to wonder what you did for<br />

<br />

Cause you don't need an army<br />

You brought it out once <br />

To move out the poor<br />

<br />

Well, Oh my heart is sinking<br />

I know you could bring it again<br />

You live your life in the court of kings<br />

The same old useless, worn out thinking<br />

Count your money as the raven sings<br />

But all your riches won't mean a thing someday<br />

Safe and sound when the wrecking ball swings<br />

Oh, It could happen to you<br />

Oh, It could happen to you<br />

<br />

Oh, It could happen to you<br />

Oh, It could happen to you
