Put away those saddened eyes
Close yourself and fall to lay
Could your dreams they recognize
The price you give and the price you pay
Put away those happy eyes
Close yourself and fall to lay
Could your dreams they recognize
The price you pay
In the age of the weathered wood
On the bridge where you've been standing
In the days when we never could
See the branch where we could land
In the age of the weathered wood
On the bridge where you've been standing
In the days when you never could
See me land
Oh yeah!
See the boy in the corner there
He might just need to know you care
He sees much more than you believe
Cause he believes before he sees
Strong woman broken down
Looking for that common ground
She's working hard on a double shift
Maybe she just needs a lift
Underdog, pariah, ghost
Who in the world do you love the most
Deeper, stronger, closer still
I hope, I pray, you say "I will"
Stop the slave masters fucking you 'round
Stop the slave masters kicking you down
Stop the slave masters fucking you 'round
Pushing you down, kicking you round
Stop the slave masters fucking you 'round
Stop the slave masters kicking you down
Stop the slave masters fuckin' you 'round
Pushing you round, kicking you down
