Lyrics

Afro Lover

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.

Everybody wants to be happy

Everybody wants more money

Everybody wants more loving

Everybody wants the same thing

I came across the border through the east and the west divide

The land between the trenches was patrolled by the deaf and the blind

The blind were shouting 'Listen!'

While the deaf said 'Can't you see?'

Somewhere deep in no man's land some man has lost a key

I open up into this mystery

I have seen

I have seen

I have seen

There's centuries of fighting so I brought myself a gun

The salesman called it 'freedom' so my enemy bought a bigger one

I'm saving up for a missile that will shoot him up with love

Now his finger's on my button and my hand is in his glove

I opened up into this mystery

Every key can lock you up or set you free

I believe that there is magic in this mystery

I have seen

I have seen

I have seen

Everybody wants to be happy

Everybody wants more money

Everybody wants the same thing

I have seen

I have seen

I have seen

I have seen

I have seen

I have seen

I have seen

I have seen

I have seen

I have seen

I have seen

I have seen
