Lyrics
The Key
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.
The world is turning with the colour of greed
Stepping ell over the people in need
The people they bleed
Can you trust what the government says
When corruption and lies is the order of the day
It's you who has to pay
The world is turning way too fast
Close to the end or brand new start
You gotta find the way to another way out
You can hear me shout:
Oh, was it always like this
Oh, what a way to exist
Oh, was it always like this
Or something that I missed
Some people make living out of hate
And some people always wake up too late
Oh, it is their fate?
Can you trust what the preacher man says
When there are millions of roads
And his the only way, do YOU really obey?
The world is turning way too fast
Close to the end or brand new start
You gotta find the way to another way out
You can hear me shout:
Oh, was it always like this
Oh, what a way to exist
Oh, was it always like this
Or something that I missed
You gotta key to your own salvation
You gotta key to your own solution
The Skalatones skank and rock up the nation
