Bono - Acrobat lyrics

rate me

Don't believe what you hear, don't believe what you see<br />

If you just close your eyes you can feel the enemy.<br />

When I first met you girl, you had fire in your soul.<br />

What happened t'your face of melting snow<br />

Now it looks like this!<br />

And you can swallow or you can spit<br />

You can throw it up, or choke on it<br />

And you can dream, so dream out loud<br />

You know that your time is coming round<br />

So don't let the bastards grind you down.<br />

<br />

No, nothing makes sense, nothing seems to fit.<br />

I know you'd hit out if you only knew who to hit.<br />

And I'd join the movement<br />

If there was one I could believe in<br />

Yeah, I'd break bread and wine<br />

If there was a church I could receive in.<br />

'Cause I need it now.<br />

To take the cup<br />

To fill it up, to drink it slow.<br />

I can't let you go.<br />

<br />

And I must be an acrobat<br />

To talk like this and act like that.<br />

And you can dream, so dream out loud<br />

And don't let the bastards grind you down.<br />

<br />

What are we going to do now it's all been said?<br />

No new ideas in the house, and every book's been read.<br />

<br />

And I must be an acrobat<br />

To talk like this and act like that.<br />

And you can dream, so dream out loudv And you can find your own way out.<br />

And you can build, and I can will<br />

And you can call, I can't wait until<br />

You can stash and you can seize<br />

In dreams begin responsibilities<br />

And I can love, and I can love<br />

And I know that the tide is turning 'round<br />

So don't let the bastards grind you down.
