Lyrics

For Reverend Green

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

From one moment to a next

Reading in the papers to know what's best

Sometimes you don't know yourself

Eating lots of vitamins for your health

And from one moment to a next

Read negativity in the street

Maybe it's the dirt, maybe it's the heat

A baby on a bus might have needs so easy

Now I think it's alright we're together

Now I think that's alright yeah

Now I think it's the best ya ever played it

Now I think that's alright yeah

Now I think it's alright to feel inhuman

Now I think that's alright yeah

Now I think it's alright, we'll sing together

Now I think that's alright yeah

A running child's bloody with burning knees

A careless child's money flew in the trees

A camping child's happy with winter's freeze

A lucky child don't know how lucky she is

From one moment to a next

A thousand wasted Brooklyners all depressed

The ins and outs of something's chest

He'll only be a friend if he touches your breast

And from one moment to a next

Shifting in the plates of what you ingest

From sugar teas to honey best

Bulimic vegetarian wins weighing contest

Now I think it's alright we're together

Now I think that's alright yeah

Now I think it's the best we've ever played it

Now I think that's alright yeah

Now I think it's alright to feel inhuman

Now I think that's alright yeah

Now I think it's alright, we'll sing together

Now I think that's alright yeah

A running child's bloody with burning knees

A careless child's money flew in the trees

A camping child's happy with winter's freeze

A lucky child don't know how lucky he is

This one's for Reverend Green...
