For The Sake Of The Song - song lyrics

Oh, why does she sing
Her sad songs for me, I'm not the one
To tenderly bring her soft sympathy, I've just begun
To see my way clear
And it's plain if I stop I will fall
I can lay down a tear for her pain
Just a tear and that's all

Oh, what does she want me to do?
She says that she knows
That moments are rare
I suppose that it's true
Then on she goes to say I don't care
Oh, she knows that I do

Maybe she just has to sing
For the sake of the song
And who do I think that I am
To decide that she's wrong

She'd like to think I was cruel
But she knows that's a lie for I would be
No more than a tool
If I allowed her to cry all over me

Oh, my sorrow is real
Even though I can't change my plans
If she could see how I feel
Then I know that she'd understand

Oh, does she actually think I'm to blame?
Does she really believe that some word of mine
Could relieve all her pain?
Can't she see that she grieves
Just because she's been blindly deceived by her shame?

Oh, maybe she just has to sing
For the sake of the song
And who do I think that I am
To decide that she's wrong

Oh, but nothin's what it seems
Maybe she'll start someday to realize
If she abandons her dreams
Then all the words she can say are only lies

Oh, why can't she see that to gain is only to lose?
All that she offers me are her chains and I got to refuse

Oh, but it's only to herself that she's lied
She likes to pretend
There's something that she should defend with her pride
And I don't intend
To stand here and be the friend
From whom she must hide

Oh, maybe she just has to sing
For the sake of the song
And who do I think that I am
To decide that she's wrong

We have been stuck in here a day, seeking Answers for all eternity, or something Hear the meaning, speaking in me Have faith in me, have faith in me I cannot say that I am fine And take all you say at face value I've talked to you more than I have Have faith in me, have faith in me I've talked too much today You don't trust me So I keep on talking in every way Across the sea I hear you calling me For the sake of revenge you command me This ain't over, no it's never over 'Till the fat lady sings, you love me I am tired, yet I am swimming You will not let go of me, you are drowning As you're quietly pulling me under We will never make it unless you let go There's no crime, yet I stand accused And I see the solution naked before me You reduced me to a weapon, unlike you Have faith in me, have faith in me I cannot hear, though I incline my ear Why do I even try I've told you all 'bout what I am Have faith in me, have faith in me I'm feeling weak today Please, don't crush me I keep on walking, far away I keep on crawling, all in vain I'm feeling slow today So don't rush me We live this wretched serenade You keep me playing, anyway Across the sea I hear you calling me For the sake of revenge you will command me This ain't over, it's never over 'Till the fat lady sings, you love me I'm so tired, yet keep on swimming You will not let go of me, you're drowning Now you're quietly pulling me under Oh so quietly pulling me under

If you're nobody's business or you're front page news Folk Rock, Country or Delta Blues, Tell your truth however you choose And do it all for the sake of the song Yeah, hitchhike, and bus ride and rental car, Living rooms, coffee houses and rundown bars Ten thousand people or alone under the stars Its all for the sake of the song And there's a man who wrote "Your Cheatin' Heart", now he's through his tooth And he plays it on a stolen harp, That's soaked in hundred proof And there's one who might be happy With a foreign badger's purse She's lost the crowd's attention at the forty second verse And it's the travelling salesman, the girl next door On the empty room to the bird on the corner Less is less until more is More And it's all for the sake of the song And there's the young man on the marquee, Yeah he's the son of some well known His father bought the tour bus, so he could strike out on his own And there's the brooding contradiction, he's holding Van Gogh's ear That he's taped it to his guitar, in the hope someone will hear It's back stage and Nudie Suits, and the next big thing will get 'em back to your roots High tops, flannel and duct tape boots And it's all for the sake of the song And there's the mystic, there's the legend, and there's the best that's ever been And there's the voice of a generation who wants to pass this way again And there's record deals and trained seals, and puppets on a string And they're all just trying to figure out what makes the caged bird sing It's lights, camera, on with the show, lifetime to get ready, now go cat go Where it all ends, nobody knows But it's all for the sake of the song So if you're nobody's business or you're front page news Folk Rock, Country or Delta Blues, Tell your truth however you choose And do it all for the sake of the song

You feel the beating thunder rolling underground Under your feet and things are moving all around You try to reach for something just to hold your body to your brain But when it hits you, you're gonna feel no pain Feel the room shake Hear my heart break I'm in love with the sound I'm in love with the sound The love that we make We make for our sake For the sake of the sound For the sake of the sound I feel the heat and fire buring all around Out on the street I hear the pavement break and pound I want to be the one that makes your swan sing "take my soul away" Oh Hallelujah, I wanna hear you say Feel the room shake Hear my heart break I'm in love with the sound I'm in love with the sound The love that we make We make for our sake For the sake of the sound For the sake of the sound Feel the room shake Can you hear my heart break I'm in love with the sound I'm in love with the sound The love that we make We make for our sake For the sake of the sound For the sake of the sound

"I don't like you, go away With the strange opinions, that you claim!" "I don't like you, go away! Don't touch me with your sinful hands!" "We need assimilation more than diversity!" "The indoctrination is purging your belief" "Sufferance is the only reason Why you still breathe!" Pluralism, multiculturalism Are human's archievements, that we would be missin' Proselytization and fascism Result in the question How can I fit in? Tolerance is based on identity and empathy Tolerance is the key to a society That pursuits of the peacekeeping, we were bleeding for Let us end the everlasting wars! But is unity the only thing that we need? No! "I don't like you, go away With the strange opinions, that you claim!" "I don't like you, go away Don't touch me with your sinful hands!" Pluralism, multiculturalism Are human's archievements, that we would be missin' Proselytization and fascism Result in the question How can I fit in? How can I fit in? How can I fit in? Accept each other for charity's sake! Accept each other for charity's sake! We want the structures of hate to break! Accept each other for charity's sake! We want sympathy and love to awake!

Won't you lend your lungs to me? Mine are collapsing Plant my feet and bitterly breathe Up the time that's passing Breath I'll take and breath I'll give And pray the day's not poison Stand among the ones that live In lonely indecision Fingers walk the darkness down Mind is on the midnight Gather up the gold you've found You fool, it's only moonlight And if you stop to take it home Your hands will turn to butter Better leave this dream alone Try to find another Salvation sat and crossed herself And called the devil partner Wisdom burned upon a shelf Who'll kill the raging cancer Seal the river at its mouth Take the water prisoner Fill the sky with screams and cries Bathe in fiery answers Jesus was an only son And love his only concept Strangers cry in foreign tongues And dirty up the doorstep And I for one, and you for two Ain't got the time for outside Keep your injured looks to you We'll tell the world that we tried
