THE WORDS I HEARD

Another Song A Week 2021 piece. Audiolink at the end.

 

THE WORDS I HEARD

 

WE LIVE                      IN DIFFICULT TIMES

WE NEED                    SOMETHING TO BELIEVE

WE DON’T                   WANT TO BE THE ‘OTHER’

WE JUST                     WANT TO GET ALONG

 

“BUY THIS FOR SOME WARM PEACH TONES”

TO GET YOUR MAN – DON’T BE ALONE

YOUR NOTHING TILL YOUR IN THE FASHION

EXEMPT FROM WARMTH, LOVE AND COMPASSION

 

WE LIVE                      IN DIFFICULT TIMES

WE NEED                    SOMETHING TO BELIEVE

WE DON’T                   WANT TO BE THE ‘OTHER’

WE JUST                     WANT TO GET ALONG

 

“SUBTLY LIFT YOUR HONEY HUES”

WITH THAT NEW OUTFIT OR THOSE NEW SHOES

YOUR NOTHING TILL YOU LIVE THE WORD

THESE ARE THE WORDS  I HEARD

 

WE LIVE                      IN DIFFICULT TIMES

WE NEED                    SOMETHING TO BELIEVE

WE DON’T                   WANT TO BE THE ‘OTHER’

WE JUST                     WANT TO GET ALONG

 

STAND UP TALL AND BE A MAN

ONLY GIRLS  CRY – YOU NEVER CAN

IF YOU’RE HURT, DON’T SHOW IT HERE

EVERYONE WILL THINK YOU’RE QUEER

 

WE LIVE                      IN DIFFICULT TIMES

WE NEED                    SOMETHING TO BELIEVE

WE DON’T                   WANT TO BE THE ‘OTHER’

WE JUST                     WANT TO GET ALONG

 

 

LAUGH WHEN THEY TELL RACIST JOKES

DON’T WANT THEM TO THINK YOU’RE ‘WOKE’

WATCH THE POLICE BEAT YOUR FRIEND

HOPE THEY’LL SAVE YOU TILL THE END

 

WE LIVE                      IN DIFFICULT TIMES

WE NEED                    SOMETHING TO BELIEVE

WE DON’T                   WANT TO BE THE ‘OTHER’

WE JUST                     WANT TO GET ALONG

 

REVOLUTIONS ARE NOT TELEVISED

THEY FADE AND DIE BEHIND YOUR EYES

WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO LEAD

INSTEAD WE WATCH OUR BROTHERS BLEED.

 

WE LIVE                      IN DIFFICULT TIMES

WE NEED                    SOMETHING TO BELIEVE

WE DON’T                   WANT TO BE THE ‘OTHER’

WE JUST                     WANT TO GET ALONG
