Aint'no reason歌词

There ain't no reason
things are this way
It's how they've always been
and they intend to stay
I can't explain
why we live this way
We do it everyday
Preachers on the podium
speaking the saints
Prophets on the sidewalk
begging for change
Old ladies laugh from the fire escape
Cursing my name
I got a basket full of lemons
and they always taste the same
I wonder if the pigeon
with the broken wing
You could spend you whole life
working for something
Just to have it taken away
People walk around pushing back their desks
Wearing paychecks like necklaces and bracelets
Talking about nothing,
not thinking about death
Every little heartbeat every little breath
People walk a tight rope
on a razor's edge
Carrying their hurt
and hatred and weapons
It could be a bomb,
or a bullet or a pin
Or a thought,
or a word,
or a sentence
There ain't no reason
things are this way
It's how they've always been
and they intend to stay
I don't know
why I say the things I say
But I say them anyway
But love will come set me free
Love will come set me free,
I do believe
Love will come set me free,
I know it will
Love will come set me free
Prison walls still standing tall
Some things never change at all
Keep on building prisons
gonna fill them all
Keep on building bombs
gonna drop them all
Working your fingers bare to the bone
Breaking your back
to make yourself useful
Laugh along,
it's filled with cold
Suffocating slow
The wind blows wild
and I may move
But politicians lie
and I am not fooled
You don't need no reason
nor a three-piece suit
To argue the truth
The air on my skin,
and the world under my toes
Slavery stitched in
to the fabric of my clothes
Chaos and commotion wherever I go
]Love I try to follow
Love will come set me free
Love will come set me free,
I do believe
Love will come set me free,
I know it will
Love will come set me free
There ain't no reason
things are this way
It's how they've always been
and they intend to stay
I can't explain
why we live this way
We do it everyday编辑于2023/12/27更新
