Stories Of Old |
I don’t want to hear your stories of old. |
Don’t show me your golden chains |
For if there’s just one man in this whole wide land and he is living in pain. |
Oh, then freedom’s not your name |
You told me of a dream that I would surely like to see where each man could |
keep the wolves from his door |
Then I saw an old man without a dollar in his hand, saying, «You don’t need me |
anymore |
I guess you just don’t need me anymore.» |
I don’t want to hear your stories of old. |
Don’t show me your golden chains |
For if there’s just one man in this whole wide land and he is living in pain. |
Oh, then freedom’s not your name |
We’ve got a lot of pride and that I can’t deny from those who bore us liberty |
But if freedom’s at the door and we let it wait some more |
Oh, I wonder how proud they are of me. |
I wonder just how proud they are of me |
Go ahead and walk away. |
Yeah, turn your back and say, «We'll show 'em whose got |
who on the run.» |
But, if we could talk with folks out there, we might get somewhere |
And maybe someday we could throw away these guns. |
Someday we could throw away |
these guns |
I don’t want to hear your stories of old. |
Don’t show me your golden chains |
For if there’s just one man in this whole wide land and he is living in pain. |
Oh, then freedom’s not your name |
If there’s just one man in this whole wide land and he is living in pain, oh, |
then freedom’s not your name |
