Testo Breathe - Dan Bern
Testo della canzone Breathe (Dan Bern), tratta dall'album Breathe
Now a couple years ago I told everybody
That I was the Messiah come to save them
They started lining up with babies to be blessed
The sick and the lame blocking the pavement
I walked on water and no kid sank
Turned wine into whiskey and drank, drank, drank
Now with just a couple Snickers and some cornmeal mush
I fed six thousand at a time
I spoke in St. Louis, you gotta play St. Louis
St. Louis, I rule it some kind
The blind came to me and I made 'em see
Got the deaf diggin' high fidelity
Cartridge, I could do cartridge you wouldn't believe
There's nothing innocent about a newborn babe
And a few years here can't cure
And it's not so much that you burn out
Baby, but you finally just endure
Now to tell you the truth
Lately even I start to get a little overwhelmed
Wars and pain and poverty
Those have been around a long time
But the oceans rise and the fresh water dies
And the hate sticks harder to your insides
And the cars get bigger and your smoke turns out
And your idols fall and your life a little better
And the train gets further and further off the track
And with each day passing it's harder to turn back
They call Mother Earth "Mother" for a reason
She will revolt
Stop
Stop what you're doing
Stop what you're doing and breathe
Stop what you're doing and breathe
Flipping my burgers, corporate mergers
Speaking in tongues, burning your lungs
Drinking a Coke, repeating some joke
Kissing my ring, buffalo wings
Honking your horn, internet porn
Taking a bow, writing your will
Stop what you're doing and breathe
Stop what you're doing and breathe
Stop what you're doing and breathe
Stop what you're doing and breathe
Stop what you're doing and breathe
