lyrics

WITH TALK OF PEACE AND THE JESUS RAP
A LOVING KISS AND A FATHERS STRAP
THEY STRAP ME DOWN AND HOLD ME BACK
TIE ME UP AND GIVE ME SLACK
WAVE THE FLAG AND LEAD ME ON
POINT THE WAY AND CALL ME SON
AND THEN THEY STAB ME IN THE BACK

SO WHEN WILL WE BE HAPPY
WHEN WILL WE BE FREE
WHEN WE NEVER SEEM TO REACH
THE PLACE WE'D LIKE TO BE

WITH TALK OF GREED THE MONEY GAME
IN FATHERS VOICE THEY CALL MY NAME
TO PLAY THE COW WHO MAKES THE CASH
THAT THEY THEN USE TO BUILD A STASH
TO PROVE A POINT THEY PUT YOU DOWN
CHANGE THE BLAME AND TWIST YOU ROUND
AS THEY STAB YOU IN THE BACK

SO WHEN WILL WE BE HAPPY
WHEN WILL WE BE FREE
WHEN WE NEVER SEEM TO REACH
THE PLACE WE'D LIKE TO BE
WE NEVER SEEM TO STAND
AND WE NEVER SEEM TO FALL
IN A MEDIOCRE MEDIUM WE CRAWL

AND DAY AFTER DAY
THEY TAKE MY DREAMS AWAY
SEND ME OFF TO PLAY IN THE DARK
AND DAY AFTER DAY
THEY TAKE MY DREAMS AWAY
AND THEN THEY STAB ME IN THE BACK

WITH TALK OF PEACE AND THE JESUS RAP
A LOVING KISS AND A FATHERS STRAP
THEY STRAP ME DOWN AND HOLD ME BACK
TIE ME UP AND GIVE ME SLACK
TO PROVE A POINT THEY PUT YOU DOWN
THEY CHANGE THE BLAME AND TWIST YOU ROUND
AS THEY THEY STAB US IN THE BACK

SO WHEN WILL WE BE HAPPY
WHEN WILL WE BE FREE
WHEN WE NEVER SEEM TO REACH
THE PLACE WE'D LIKE TO BE
WE NEVER SEEM TO STAND
AND WE NEVER SEEM TO FALL
IN A MEDIOCRE MEDIUM WE CRAWL
