Ain't No Reason |
| There ain’t no reason things are this way |
| It’s how they’ve always been and they intend to stay |
| I can’t explain why we live this way |
| We do it every day |
| Preachers on the podiums speaking of saints |
| Prophets on the sidewalk begging for change |
| Old ladies laughing from the fire escape |
| Cursing 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 could spend your whole life working for something |
| Just to have it taken away |
| People walk around pushing back their debts |
| Wearing paychecks like necklaces and bracelets |
| Talking about nothing, not thinking 'bout death |
| Every little heartbeat, every little breath |
| People walk a tight rope on a razor’s edge |
| Carrying their hurt and hatred and weapons |
| It could be a bomb, or a bullet, or a pen |
| Or thought, or a word, or a sentence |
| There ain’t no reason things are this way |
| It’s how they’ve always been and they intend to stay |
| I don’t know why I say the things 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 standing tall |
| Some things never change at all |
| Keep on building prisons, gonna fill them all |
| Keep on building bombs, gonna drop them all |
| Working your fingers bare to the bone |
| Breaking your back, make you sell your soul |
| Like a lung, that’s filled with coal |
| Suffocating 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 the world under my toes |
| Slavery stitched into the fabric of my clothes |
| Chaos and commotion wherever I go |
| Love I try to follow |
| 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 |
| Yes, Love will come, set me free, yeah |
| There ain’t no reason things are this way |
| It’s how they’ve always been and they intend to stay |
| I can’t explain why we live this way |
| We do it every day |
