I told you that the ba*tards will pay
maybe not yet, but they'll see the day
I told you that God tempteth no man
and you know we've got to do what we can
I can tell some of you still can't see
when are we going to stop this misery
I asked the a**a**in, if he has the right
I hope someday maybe He'll see the light
I told you all, right from the start
choose the way that comes from the heart,
I can tell some of you still can't see
when are we going to stop this misery
in these troubled times, you ask me
how can we be saved
tell all the people, everyone you meet
the answer is LOVE
I told you, 'bout the wickedness of man
to try and save him, I hope we can
I told you 'bout my dream of love
and the life that only comes from above
I can tell some of you still can't see
when are we going to stop this misery
in these troubled times, you ask me
how can we be saved
tell all the people, everyone you meet
the answer is LOVE!
2. Thinking of the past
Remember the place, when you were young
that seemed so real
life was so much fun
I can see it in my son
were you ever young?
now these days are gone forever
wish I'd make them last
now we feel so sad together
thinking of the past
remember the time when we used to cry
even though it was so small
help was always near
mother made it disappear
did you ever cry?
now those days are gone forever
wish I'd make them last
now we feel so sad together
thinking of the past
remember the way we used to laugh
and talk about our dreams
living for today
where is yesterday
could you ever laugh?
now those days are gone forever
wish I'd make them last
now we feel so sad together
thinking of the past
it draws near
