Deixar você
Ir
Não vai ser bom
Não vai ser
Bom pra você
Nem melhor pra mim
Pensar que é
Só
Deixar de ver
E acabou
Vai acabar muito pior
Pra que mentir
E
Fingir que o horizonte
Termina ali defronte
E a ponte acaba aqui?
Vamos seguir
Reinventar o espaço
Juntos manter o passo
Não ter cansaço
Não crer no fim
O fim do amor
Oh, não
Alguma dor
Talvez sim
Que a luz nasce na escuridão.

Psychiatrists
and Lawyers destroying mankind
Drivin' 'em crazy...and stealing 'em blind
Bankers and Brokers ruling the world
Storing the silver and hoarding the gold
Ain't no use in preachers preaching
When they don't know what they're teaching
The weakest man be strong as Samson
When you're being held to ransom
Famine and hardship in true living colour
Constant reminders...the plight of our brother
Daily starvation our diet of news
Fed to the teeth with a barrage of views
Ain't no use in preachers preaching
When they don't know what they're teaching
The weakest man be strong as Samson
When you're being held to ransom
Black men and white men, and Arabs and Jews
Causing congestion and filling the queues
Fighting for freedom the truth and the word
Fighting the war for the end of the world
Ain't no use in preachers preaching
When they don't know what they're teaching
Weakest man be strong as Samson
When you're being held to ransom.

Heart over mind, yes I'm
My father's son
I live my life, just like
My father's done
If he'd told me, one day
That somebody'd have my heart in chains
Would I believe it, no way
Made up my mind I'd never fall that way
But tell me why
Everytime I try, to tell you it's goodbye
I can't seem to let go
In my heart I know I want to stay
What I'm trying to say
heart over mind
Yes I'm my father's son
Yes I'm inclined to do
As my fathers done
Here I am with you
And I know that it's true
Despite all the feelings
Your putting me through
I try to alk away, something makes me stay
Heart over mind, yes I'm
My father's son
I live my life, just like
My father's done
But tell me why
Everytime I try, to tell you it's goodbye
I can't seem to let go
In my heart, I know I want to stay, never run away
My father's son
I live my life, as my father's done
If he'd told me, one day
That somebody would have my heart in
Chains would I believe it, no way
Made up my mind, I'd never fall that way
But it's heart over mind, yes I'm my father's son.

Get your money for nothin', get your chicks for free
