Evermore - Front Page Story / Diamonds In The River lyrics
rate me<BR>
This ain't no front page story.<br>
There's no fight, no hear, no glory.<br>
There's no politician caught with his pants low.<br>
There's no supermodel slipping at the fashion show.<br>
There's no overnight miracle for sale.<br>
There's no bubblegum pixie thrown in jail.<br>
<br>
This ain't no front page story.<br>
I could try and tell it but I know they'll ignore me.<br>
<br>
Tell me little soldier, future gone to rust.<br>
Your finger on the trigger, who is there to trust?<br>
There's diamonds in the river, there's oil in the dust,<br>
and all that they've delivered<br>
is a history writ in blood.<br>
<br>
Tell me, tell me, how long will this go on?<br>
<br>
They're coming in there thousands,<br>
tipping up the scales.<br>
Wheels are set in motion.<br>
Woman, child for sale.<br>
<br>
They came with guns and blew away<br>
the little light you'd stored away.<br>
Everything left in disarray<br>
under a sky gun-metal grey.<br>
<br>
Tell me, tell me, how long will this go on?<br>
<br>
This is no bed time story,<br>
this is no distant memory,<br>
there's no hollywood ending,<br>
this is real...<br>
<br>
Tell me, tell me, how long will this go on?<br>
<BR><BR>
