caedmons call - Standing Up For Nothing слова песни
I can`t stop staring at myselfMy face reflected in this empty plateI can`t decide if it`s the devilOr if it`s just something I ate`Cause he`s been down there all morningHe`s patiently waiting at my gateHe`s throwing rocks at my window"Hey won`t you come on out and play with me"And every day when I get upI see folks trading in their crownsFor all these paper or plastic livesAn opiate for the masses` houndsAnd pride like a vestige of lives lostThe stench of the old folks coming aroundNow with the news I heard todayI can`t tell if this world is lost or foundYou go, I`ll be waiting hereAnd I`m awake, no I cannot sleepSo I`ll sit upon this rock is youI ain`t standing up for nothingI`ve never seen my congressmanBut I can`t deny that he exists`Cause I`ve seen his legislation passI`ve seen his name on the ballot listThe same I can`t deny this fallen worldThough not my home it`s where I liveHow can I preserve and light the wayFor a world that I can`t admit I`m in`Cause I know who I say you areBut these crows can`t be made to stopSo I`ll sit denying by this fireI ain`t standing up for nothingLack of interest leads toLack of knowledge leads toLack of perspective leads toLack of communication leads toLack of understanding leads toLack of concern leads toThis complacency denotesThis approval deniesThe truthBut I can`t stop staring at myselfIt`s my face reflected in this empty plateAnd I know that it`s the devilSo you lead, I`ll be close behindSo you speak, I`ll hang on your wordsYou`ve got to lift me from this hardened tree`Cause I ain`t standing up for nothing-lyrics submitted by Corey Cossentino (coreycossentino@hotmail.com)
