Lyrics
There ain't no reason things are this way
It's how they' always been and they intend to stay
I can't explain why we live this way. We do it every day
Preachers on the podium speakin' of saints
Prophets on the sidewalk beggin' for change
Old ladies laughin' from the fire escape
Cursin' my name
I got a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same
A window and a pigeon with a broken wing
You can spend your whole life workin' for something
Just to have it taken away
People walk a- round pushin' back their debts
Wearin' pay- checks like necklaces and bracelets
Talkin' 'bout nothin', not thinkin' 'bout death
Every little heart beat, every little breath
People walk a tightrope on a razor's edge
Carryin' their hurt and hatred in weapons
It could be a bomb or a bullet or a pen
Or a thought or a word or a sentence
There ain't no reason things are this way
It's how they' always been and they intend to stay
I don't know why I say the things that I say
But I say them anyway
But love will come set me free
Love will come set me free, I do believe
Love will come set me free, I know It will
Love will come set me free, Yeah
Prison walls still standin' tall
Some things never change at all
Keep on buildin' prisons, gonna fill them all
Keep on buildin' bombs, gonna drop them all
Workin' your fingers bare to the bones
Breakin' your back, make you sell your soul
Like a lung that's filled with coal
Suffo- cating slow
The wind blows wild and I may move
But politicians lie and I am not fooled
You don't need no reason or a three-piece suit
To argue the truth
The air on my skin and world under my toes
Slavery stitched into the fabric of my clothes
Chaos and commotion wherever I go
Love I try to follow
But love will come set me free
Love will come set me free, I do believe
Love will come set me free, I know It will
Love will come set me free, Yeah
There ain't no reason things are this way
It's how they' always been and they intend to stay
I can't explain why we live this way
We do it every day
