Citizen Cope - Lifeline lyrics

rate me

<br>

When you're so long gone, you can't help yourself<br />

When you're so dead wrong<br />

Let alone no one else<br />

<br />

Well the children still dying in the streets<br />

The babies still living with disease<br />

The cops got guns, the poor folks got sons<br />

Who work for Mr. Franklin every week<br />

<br />

If you've come looking for hard times<br />

Hard times ain't hard to find<br />

Cause we've been given that lifeline<br />

Only once in a lifetime<br />

<br />

Baby we were born<br />

Maybe we were born<br />

To be sure ... to endure<br />

When the storm comes<br />

<br />

Got them sad eyes<br />

Got them cat eyes<br />

Got your angels tired<br />

From saving your life<br />

<br />

So you would be best<br />

To contain yourself<br />

Before you end up killed<br />

<br />

His bare feet<br />

Touch her bare feet<br />

The air breaths sweet<br />

At the mountains peak<br />

<br />

And I forgot<br />

What the wise man said<br />

About that ancient thread<br />

<br />

Baby we were born<br />

Maybe we were born<br />

To be sure ... to rejoice<br />

When it succumbs

<br><br><br><br>
