[00:13.45]There ain't no reason
[00:15.06]things are this way
[00:16.65]It's how they've always been
[00:18.10]and they intend to stay
[00:19.97]I can't explain
[00:21.39]why we live this way
[00:23.29]We do it everyday
[00:26.67]Preachers on the podium
[00:28.24]speaking the saints
[00:29.69]Prophets on the sidewalk
[00:31.49]begging for change
[00:33.16]Old ladies laugh from the fire escape
[00:36.62]Cursing my name
[00:39.41]I got a basket full of lemons
[00:41.08]and they always taste the same
[00:42.98]I wonder if the pigeon
[00:44.61]with the broken wing
[00:46.44]You could spend you whole life
[00:48.35]working for something
[00:49.85]Just to have it taken away
[00:53.15]People walk around pushing back their desks
[00:56.50]Wearing paychecks like necklaces and bracelets
[00:59.75]Talking about nothing,
[01:01.11]not thinking about death
[01:02.94]Every little heartbeat every little breath
[01:06.38]People walk a tight rope
[01:07.89]on a razor's edge
[01:09.58]Carrying their hurt
[01:10.83]and hatred and weapons
[01:12.49]It could be a bomb,
[01:14.11]or a bullet or a pin
[01:15.66]Or a thought,
[01:16.57]or a word,
[01:17.27]or a sentence
[01:19.02]There ain't no reason
[01:20.87]things are this way
[01:22.64]It's how they've always been
[01:24.07]and they intend to stay
[01:25.78]I don't know
[01:26.74]why I say the things I say
[01:29.14]But I say them anyway
[01:31.36]But love will come set me free
[01:37.95]Love will come set me free,
[01:41.22]I do believe
[01:44.70]Love will come set me free,
[01:48.02]I know it will
[01:51.18]Love will come set me free
[01:58.85]Prison walls still standing tall
[02:02.20]Some things never change at all
[02:05.38]Keep on building prisons
[02:07.02]gonna fill them all
[02:08.75]Keep on building bombs
[02:09.95]gonna drop them all
[02:12.04]Working your fingers bare to the bone
[02:14.95]Breaking your back
[02:16.30]to make yourself useful
[02:18.46]Laugh along,
[02:19.78]it's filled with cold
[02:21.89]Suffocating slow
[02:24.77]The wind blows wild
[02:26.48]and I may move
[02:28.13]But politicians lie
[02:29.97]and I am not fooled
[02:31.47]You don't need no reason
[02:33.12]nor a three-piece suit
[02:35.03]To argue the truth
[02:37.99]The air on my skin,
[02:39.60]and the world under my toes
[02:41.64]Slavery stitched in
[02:42.89]to the fabric of my clothes
[02:44.70]Chaos and commotion wherever I go
[02:47.96]]Love I try to follow
[02:50.49]Love will come set me free
[02:57.04]Love will come set me free,
[03:00.45]I do believe
[03:03.72]Love will come set me free,
[03:06.99]I know it will
[03:10.20]Love will come set me free
[03:17.65]There ain't no reason
[03:19.26]things are this way
[03:20.76]It's how they've always been
[03:22.73]and they intend to stay
[03:24.43]I can't explain
[03:25.68]why we live this way
[03:27.34]We do it everyday
