Lyrics
Che
Im not gonna make you
Im not gonna wake you
Let you sleep in, watch you sleep in
Im not gonna waste you
Im not gonna break you
Let you live in sin, watch you slipping slim
watch you masquerading,
watch you advocating
what you think is right,
you shouldn?t bring to light
I don?t care tonight
I?m feeling young and bright
I?m only left to live this lighter side to life
Left for dead bleeding
by the street, fever?s building up to burst
can?t you feel it, its coming at you now
why on me, you told me
you were in need of me
Ive seen these city streets
fill up with pain and grief
I?ve heard the tortured souls
screamin out loud when is my baby coming home
I?ve seen the wounded soul of a girl only five years old
in the trenches fast asleep, in the desert with no food to eat
in the floods of the promised land
her brothers with a gun in his hand
