Real Live Love
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.
I was hopin' on somethin' that never could be
Hopin' that he'd give a damn about me
And willing to do anything to believe
Hopin' on somethin' that never could be
I was runnin' with blinders and carryin' knives
Endangered my body and both of our lives
Actin' like I had no need to survive
Runnin' with blinders and carryin' knives
When, when will we see?
It ain't love
If it ain't free
And I'm tired of playin' it tough
And these fantasies ain't good enough
I want real live love for the soul of me
Soldiers are terrified, governors bored
Freedom's for rich people, fightin's for poor
Dyin' to settle some billionaire's score
Soldiers are terrified, governors bored
Runnin' around with a glint in our eye
Feeding on oil that's milking us dry
And blowin' up engines where angels would fly
Runnin' around with a glint in our eye
When, when will we see?
It ain't love
If it ain't free
And I'm tired of playin' it tough
And these fantasies ain't good enough
I want real live love for the soul of me
It could be your great end Or your sinner's sole reprieve Not to know how to fight But still to believe
There's so much to see when you just crack your eyes Or when the world just takes you by surprise Force you to witness an angry wave rise So much to see when you just crack your eyes
But once they're open you can't put 'em back You bought the goods don't complain what it lacks Just put down the armor and follow the path Cause once it's open you can't put it back
When, when will we see?
It ain't love
If it ain't free
And I'm tired of playin' it tough
And these fantasies ain't good enough
I want real live love for the soul of me
