There aint no reason things are this way
It's how they've always been and they intend to stay
I can't explain why we live this way
We do it everyday
Preachers on the potium speaking the saints
Prophets on the sidewalk beggin' for change
Old ladies laughing from the fire escape
Cursing my name
I got a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same
A window and a pigeon with a broken wing
You can spend your whole life working for some thing
Just to have it taken away
People walk around pushin' back their debts
Wearin' paychecks
Like necklaces and bracelets
Talkin' about nothing not thinking about death
Every little heartbeat...Every little breath
People walk a tight rope on a razor's edge
Carrying their hurt and hatred and weapons
It could be a bomb or a bullet or a pen
Or a thought or a word or a sentence
Their ain't no reason things are this way
It's how they've always been and they intend to stay
I don't know why I say the things I say
But I say them anyway
Prison walls still standing tall
Some things never change at all
Keep on building prisons gonna fill them all
Keep on building bombs gonna drop them all
Working your fingers bare to the bone
Breaking your back, make you sell your soul
Life alone is filled with cold
Sufficating slow
The wind blows wild and I may move
But politicians lie and I am not fooled
You don't need no reason or a three piece suite
To argue the truth
The air on my skin and the world under my toe
Slavery stitched to the fabric of my cloths
Chaos and comotion where ever I go
Love I try to follow
Love will come and set me free
Love will come and set me free
I do believe
Love will come and set me free
There aint no reason things are this way
It's how they've always been and they intend to stay
I can't explain why we live this way
We do it everyday
