Lyrics
Heart Like a Wheel
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.
Calling up the promised land
Johnny Seven's coming over the sea
He's taking your time
When you want to be free
Holding out a helping hand
Are you ready for a real career?
Will you be so cool
When it's happening here?
It don't say nothing that I haven't heard
If what I hear is true
You won't keep the law with a broken word
So what are you going to do?
Heart like a wheel
Turning away from anything that's real
Heart like a wheel
Changing in time beating colder steel
Pass the message around the world
The medium is in retreat
The power is here
And packing some heat
Sell your soul to a holy war
Set the captive free
We make no promises anymore
But it isn't fooling me
Heart like a wheel
Turning away from anything that's real
Heart like a wheel
Changing in time beating colder steel
You can't keep the wheels turning anymore
With anger blood and fear
Or make any friends with an M16
When you blast your way through here
Heart like a wheel
Turning away from anything that's real
Heart like a wheel
Changing in time beating colder steel
Heart like a wheel
Turning away from anything that's real
Heart like a wheel
Changing in time beating colder steel
Heart like a wheel
Turning away from anything that's real
Heart like a wheel
Driving the world is going to be a steal
