I'm locked inside
|
A land called foolish price
|
Where the man is always right
|
He hates to talk but loves to fight
|
Is that all right?
|
|
On real cold days
|
He loans us lots of hate
|
But he says that we must pay
|
To take it all away
|
Is that okay?
|
|
But I'm asking you will you stay with me
|
In this land where we are free
|
And I know it's rough
|
And you've had enough
|
But one day we'll be happy
|
|
And when I look into the future I see danger in its eyes
|
Hearts of hatred rule the land while love is left aside
|
Killing plagues the citizens while music slowly dies
|
I get frightened, I - see, I get frightened, I...
|
|
Oh how, oh how I need you baby
|
To keep me from going crazy
|
I really need you baby
|
Need you to stay
|
|
Oh how, oh how I love you baby
|
These people are so crazy
|
I really need you baby
|
Need you to stay
|
|
She's quick to fight
|
For her man but not her rights
|
Even though it's 3005
|
When will we end this genocide?
|
And that's not right
|
Her children cry
|
No food to eat and her friends as flies
|
The color black means it's time to die
|
And nobody questions why
|
Cause they're too scared to stop the man
|
|
But I'm asking you will you stay with me
|
In this land where we are free
|
And I know it's rough
|
And you've had enough
|
But one day we'll be happy
|
|
When I look into the future
|
I see danger in its eyes
|
Babies die before they're born
|
And no one ever smiles
|
The writers and the artists, all are paid to tell us lies
|
To keep us locked inside, they keep us locked inside
|
|
Oh how, oh how I need you baby
|
To keep me from going crazy
|
I really need you baby
|
Need you to stay
|
|
Oh how, oh how I love you baby
|
These people are so crazy
|
I really need you baby
|
Need you to stay
|
|
I can make a change
|
I can start a fire
|
Lord make me love again
|
Fill me with desire
|
|
I can make a change
|
I can start a fire
|
Make me love again
|
Lord thank You for desire
|
|
And when I look into your pretty eyes I almost want to cry
|
I think about my life and I don't want to live a lie
|
How I need you baby, I need you right by my side
|
I need you tonight, I need you tonight
|
|
Yeah! How I need you baby
|
See i can't let you go, I need you
|
On the other side
|
On the other side
|
|
I love you so and I'll never let you go
|
On the other side!
