Lyrics
Where is the Saviour music and lyric by
John Seitz
Well Billy got in on some government work out on the farmlands in the
Great western plains.
Digging up holes on 10 mile stretches for the silos that housed the missiles of death.
And in the rising conflict of east and west a young man kneels to pray
For a young girl who just oded for a future, a future that could never be.
Too many people out of hope, where is the Saviour.
Too many people lose control, where is the Saviour.
Too many people out of hope.
I saw him last night getting drunk at the bar
We were sittin around talkin bout the threat of a war.
It all seems crazy when when we all had our say
But you don't got a choice when your life is at stake.
And in the rising conflict of east and west a young man kneels to pray
For a young girl who just oded for a future, a future that could never be.
Too many people out of hope, where is the Saviour.
Too many people lose control, where is the Saviour.
Too many people out of hope.
And in the ruins of nightmare come true a war no one's wins the end of all time
A future that could never be.
Too many people out of hope,
where is the Saviour.
Too many people lose control, where is the Saviour.
