Friends I Want to Tell You
(On My Mind) Jan 2018 Words and Music Bill Lawrie
Well the rich, who now own every cent
Did not get there by accident
The game is rigged this house of cards must fall
The indifference people feel
To what is fake and what is real
Will soon come crashing down on one and all
Come in friend I want to tell you
All the things on my mind
Machines are coming soon they say
They’re going to sweep us all away
The good the bad the ugly and the kind
You run inside and shut the door
Say things were not this bad before
The fear the fire the fury and the flood
A shadow falls across the moon
The leaves are falling way too soon
And every poor man’s debt is paid in blood
Come on friends I want to tell you
All the things on my mind
And you who lay it all to waste
I wonder does the money taste
As bitter as the day you leave behind
This is not the world I meant to leave you
Where reason is a beggar at the door
And in our hearts the silence grows
The whispered warning each one knows
The wasted world, the chaos in the core
And so
You hear the silence grow
Each day a little louder than before
Come on friends I want to tell you
I’m rolling out the chariots of fire
So hand me down my walking shoes
There maybe nothing left to lose
But I’m sharpening the arrows of desire
I’m sharpening the arrows of desire
