Original lyrics

EN

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
