[Verse 1] Sorry friend, but I've got no answers for you Truth is I've never been sure about a thing But it seems this turnin' world can tempt you Only to leave you with the same blue And a jeweled crown soon found a hollow ring
[Verse 2] And these hawks flying so high above the highway Are suggesting higher courses for you and me But on their feathers dries the fair share Of others blood it takes to get there So far beyond a distance we can see
[Chorus] And as the center slowly breaks They'll split the dice that heaven shakes Into those who make and those who take; Into those who lie, and those who'll pay for the sin And from a head without an ear, new rank and file appear; Strange new pioneers; the sons of the wandering
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3] Well, the boys down at 139 are lookin' to deliver While the governor's out "divide and conquering" One more arrow in the quiver to make a working man just shiver And leave a nation on the sidelines wondering
[Chorus] "What's a soul left to do When one or two with silver spoons, and a million gilded rooms Point the finger at a million hanging on a string?" Leading all their lives in flight; cloud by day and fire by night Won't you leave a light for the sons of the wandering?
[Instrumental]
[Chorus] The more money in the race, the more the mask becomes the face And truth can't hold pace with thundering But, me, I've long laid my claim where silence strikes a note of pain Here out in the rain with sons of the wandering
[Chorus] The years have made my place singing to heal a dying race And friend, how a well-worn spirit sings; While the derby women sing hymns to lords of everything Me, I'll sing to the sons of the wandering I'll sing the songs of the sons of the wanderingTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
