Lyrics
0:02A land called foolish price
0:06Where the man is always right
0:10He hates to talk but loves to fight
0:14Is that all right
0:16On real cold days
0:18He loans us lots of hate
0:22But he says that we must pay
0:26To take it all away
0:30Is that okay
0:32But I'm asking you will you stay with me
0:36In this land where we are free
0:39And I know it's rough and you've had enough
0:44But one day we'll be happy
0:48And when I look into the future
0:50I see danger in its eyes
0:52Hearts of hatred rule the land
0:54While love is left aside
0:56Killing plagues
0:57The citizens while music slowly dies
1:00I get frightened I see
1:02I get frightened
1:04Oh how oh how I need you baby
1:08To keep me from going crazy
1:09I really need you baby need you to stay
1:12Oh how oh how I love you baby
1:15These people are so crazy
1:17I really need you baby need you to stay
1:20She's quick to fight for her man
1:23But not her rights
1:25Even though it's 3005
1:30When will we end this genocide
1:34And that's not right
1:36Her children cry no food to eat
1:39And her friends as flies
1:41The color black means it's time to die
1:45And nobody questions why
1:49'Cause they're too scared to stop the man
1:52But I'm asking you
1:54Will you stay with me
1:56In this land where we are free
2:00And I know it's rough
2:02And you've had enough
2:04But one day we'll be happy
2:08'Cause when I look into the future
2:10I see danger in its eyes
2:12Babies die before they're born
2:14And no one ever smiles
2:16The writers and the artists
2:18All are paid to tell us lies
2:20To keep us locked inside
2:22They keep us locked inside
2:24Oh how oh how I need you baby
2:27To keep me from going crazy
2:29I really need you baby
2:31Need you to stay
2:32Oh how oh how I love you baby
2:35These people are so crazy
2:37I really need you baby
2:39Need you to stay
2:41I can make a change
2:45I can start a fire
2:49Lord make me love again
2:53Fill me with desire
2:57I can make a change
3:01I can start a fire
3:05Make me love again
3:09Lord thank You for desire
3:11And when I look into your pretty eyes
3:14I almost wanna cry
3:16I think about my life
3:18And I don't want to live a lie
3:20How I need you baby
3:22I need you right by my side
3:24I need you tonight
3:26I need you tonight
3:30Yeah how I need you baby
3:34See I can't let you go I need you
3:38On the other side
3:42On the other side
3:46I love you so and I'll never let you go
3:51On the other side
A land called foolish price Where the man is always right He hates to talk but loves to fight Is that all right On real cold days He loans us lots of hate But he says that we must pay To take it all away Is that okay But I'm asking you will you stay with me In this land where we are free And I know it's rough and you've had enough But one day we'll be happy And when I look into the future I see danger in its eyes Hearts of hatred rule the land While love is left aside Killing plagues The citizens while music slowly dies I get frightened I see I get frightened Oh how oh how I need you baby To keep me from going crazy I really need you baby need you to stay Oh how oh how I love you baby These people are so crazy I really need you baby need you to stay She's quick to fight for her man But not her rights Even though it's 3005 When will we end this genocide And that's not right Her children cry no food to eat And her friends as flies The color black means it's time to die And nobody questions why 'Cause they're too scared to stop the man But I'm asking you Will you stay with me In this land where we are free And I know it's rough And you've had enough But one day we'll be happy 'Cause when I look into the future I see danger in its eyes Babies die before they're born And no one ever smiles The writers and the artists All are paid to tell us lies To keep us locked inside They keep us locked inside Oh how oh how I need you baby To keep me from going crazy I really need you baby Need you to stay Oh how oh how I love you baby These people are so crazy I really need you baby Need you to stay I can make a change I can start a fire Lord make me love again Fill me with desire I can make a change I can start a fire Make me love again Lord thank You for desire And when I look into your pretty eyes I almost wanna cry I think about my life And I don't want to live a lie How I need you baby I need you right by my side I need you tonight I need you tonight Yeah how I need you baby See I can't let you go I need you On the other side On the other side I love you so and I'll never let you go On the other side
