so you sit in your chair and you brandish your gun
and i tiptoe away cause i'm too scared to run
and my mouth is ajar and my feet weigh a ton
i got holes in my shoes
you don't need anyone
as i drift through the day i hear so many lies
from the news to the train everyone's hypnotized
and a banner of hopeless entanglement flies
i got sand in my teeth
i got tears in my eyes
life is but a dream
love is all i need
how can i believe?
still you sit in your chair and you brandish your gun
and there's nowhere to hide and there's nowhere to run
and i won't be the same anymore to anyone
but i want to go home
won't you take me away?
love is all i need
how can i believe?
love is but a dream
life is all i need
i can hardly see
life is but a dream
love is all i need
how can i believe?
