Lyrics
Alma-Ata (1928)
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.
A man came by this evening, dancing like a puppet on his strings.
He spoke of engineering. It's obvious he's never built a thing!
I finally shook my head and said,
"Men like you can't build your peace."
His personality, while charming, still betrayed an air of confidence
inconsistent with 'criminal' political dissent. I had to smile and think awhile.
I finally shook my head and said,
"Men like you can't fake your peace."
A man came by this evening, he spoke about my future in this place.
I had to smile and think awhile.
I finally shook my head and said,
"Men like you can't make your peace."
