|
| Would Bono ever know it without those songs?
|
| Would Marley be just a stoner?
|
| Johnny Cash just be a loner without those songs?
|
| Would Buddy Holly have disappeared?
|
| Or would Lennon still be here without those songs?
|
| What happened in their lives?
|
| What happened in their hearts?
|
| To make them want to write the words
|
| Gonna tear this world apart
|
| The beauty of their lives
|
| Is when they’re dead and gone
|
| The world still sings along
|
| When anything went right
|
| When anything went wrong
|
| They put it in a song
|
| Would Elvis be just a look
|
| Or The Rolling Stones be stuck without those songs?
|
| Would Sinatra be just a gangster
|
| Or would Jackson be just a dancer without those songs?
|
| Would Madonna be just a face?
|
| Or Nirvana be just a place without those songs?
|
| What happened in their lives?
|
| What happened in their hearts?
|
| To make them want to write the words
|
| Gonna tear this world apart
|
| The beauty of their lives
|
| Is when they’re dead and gone
|
| The world still sings along
|
| When anything went right
|
| When anything went wrong
