[00:00.00]Ain't No Reason - Brett Dennen
[00:14.03]There ain't no reason things are this way 
[00:17.33]It's how they always been and they intend to stay 
[00:20.40]I can't explain why we live this way 
[00:23.80]We do it every day 
[00:27.24]Preachers on the podium speaking of saints 
[00:30.10]Prophets on the sidewalk begging for change 
[00:33.62]Old ladies laughing from the fire escape 
[00:36.93]Cursing my name 
[00:39.86]I gotta a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same 
[00:43.47]A window and a pigeon with a broken wing 
[00:46.59]You can spend your whole life working for something 
[00:50.23]Just to have it taken away 
[00:53.66]People walk around pushing back their debts 
[00:56.53]Wearing paychecks like necklaces and bracelets 
[01:00.06]Talking about nothing  not thinking about death 
[01:03.36]Every little heartbeat  every little breath 
[01:06.65]People walk a tightrope on a razors edge 
[01:09.75]Carrying their hurt and hatred and weapons 
[01:13.09]It could be a bomb  or a bullet  or a pen 
[01:16.21]Or a thought  or a word  or a sentence 
[01:18.68]
[01:19.69]There ain't no reason things are this way 
[01:22.78]It's how they've always been and they intend to stay 
[01:26.01]I don't know why I say the things I say 
[01:29.33]But I say them anyway 
[01:31.88]But love will come set me free 
[01:38.69]Love will come set me free  I do believe 
[01:44.54]
[01:45.35]Love will come set me free  I know it will 
[01:51.90]Love will come set me free  yes 
[01:59.45]Prison walls still standing tall 
[02:02.50]Some things never change at all 
[02:06.05]Keep on building prisons  gonna fill them all 
[02:08.23]
[02:09.21]Keep on building bombs  gonna drop them all 
[02:12.58]Working your fingers bare to the bone 
[02:15.52]Breaking' your back  make you sell your soul 
[02:18.82]Like a lung  it's filled with coal 
[02:22.20]Suffocating slow 
[02:25.60]The wind blows wild and I may move 
[02:28.54]But politicians lie and I am not fooled 
[02:32.09]You don't need no reason or a three piece suit 
[02:35.29]To argue the truth 
[02:37.51]
[02:38.66]The air on my skin and the world under my toes
[02:41.80]Slavery stitched into the fabric of my clothes
[02:45.39]Chaos and commotion wherever I go 
[02:48.35]Love I try to follow 
[02:50.25]
[02:50.96]Love will come set me free
[02:57.62]Love will come set me free  I do believe
[03:04.22]Love will come set me free  I know it will
[03:10.78]Love will come set me free  yes
[03:18.18]There ain't no reason things are this way 
[03:21.57]It's how they've always been and they intend to stay 
[03:24.93]I can't explain why we live this way 
[03:27.96]We do it every day
