I bless you madly,    sadly as I tie my shoes   I love you badly,    Just in time, at times, I guess   Because of you I need to rest   Because it's you    that sets the test      So much has gone    and little is new   And as the sparrow sings   Dawn chorus for   Someone else to hear   The Thinker sits alone growing older   And so bitter      "I gave Them life   I gave Them all   They drained my very soul   ...dry   I crushed my heart    to ease Their pains   No thought for me remains there   Nothing can They spare   What of me?   Who praised Their efforts    to be free?   Words of strength and care    and sympathy   I opened doors   that would have blocked Their way   I braved Their cause to guide,    for little pay      I ravaged at my finance just for Those   Those whose claims were steeped in peace, tranquility    Those who said a new world, new ways ever free   Those whose promises stretched in hope and grace for me"      I bless you madly,    sadly as I tie my shoes   I love you badly, just in time,   at times, I guess   Because of you I need to rest, oh yes   Because it's you    that sets the test      So much has gone   and little is new   And as the sunrise stream   Flickers on me,   My friends talk   Of glory, untold dream, where all is God and God is just a word      "We had a friend, a talking man   Who spoke of many powers that he had   Not of the best of men, but Ours      We used him   We let him use his powers   We let him fill Our needs   Now We are strong      And the road is coming to its end   Now the damned have no time to make amends   No purse of token fortune stands in Our way   The silent guns of love   will blast the sky   We broke the ruptured structure built of age   Our weapons were the tongues of crying rage      Where money stood   We planted seeds of rebirth   And stabbed the backs of fathers   Sons of dirt      Infiltrated business cesspools   Hating through Our sleeves   Yea, and We slit the Catholic throat   Stoned the poor   on slogans such as      'Wish You Could Hear'   'Love Is All We Need'   'Kick Out The Jams'   'Kick Out Your Mother'   'Cut Up Your Friend'   'Screw Up Your Brother or He'll Get You In the End'      And We Know the Flag of Love is from Above   And We Can Force You to Be Free   And We Can Force You to Believe"      And I close my eyes and tighten up my brain   For I once read a book in which the lovers were slain   For they knew not the words of the Free States' refrain   It said:   "I believe in the Power of Good   I Believe in the State of Love   I Will Fight For the Right to be Right   I Will Kill for the Good of the Fight for the Right to be Right"      And I open my eyes to look around   And I see a child laid slain   on the ground   As a love machine lumbers through desolation rows   Ploughing down man, woman, listening to its command   But not hearing anymore    Not hearing anymore   Just the shrieks from the old rich      And I Want to Believe   In the madness that calls 'Now'   And I want to Believe   That a light's shining through   Somehow      And I Want to Believe   And You Want to Believe   And We Want to Believe   And We Want to Live   Oh, We Want to Live      We Want to Live   I want to live
