Heaven 17 - Contenders Lyrics

Send "Contenders" ringtone to your cell

We're going to stop this world from turning

We build it up you knock it down

If you go high then we'll go higher

Beyond the sky without a sound all around

We've won we've lost we've counted up the cost

And we've evened out the scores we are contenders

I'm telling you so pay attention

These words of truth come from above

In god we trust and he has told me

I need you now and i'm talking love

We want a piece of what you're selling

Put up your hands and face the wall

How much it costs there is no telling

How much it costs to walk so small and we're so tall

In truth we dare we people just don't care

We've got you running scared we are contenders

You're black or white arab christian israelite

We are hiding in plain sight we are contenders

Don't bother asking for a favor

I always get all that i want

Though some are foolish we are braver

Than those who do not have a bomb

Forget the turning of the seasons

Let's escalate and never stop

And yes we've talked but for no reason

Let's start again right from the top countdown

10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

Got the world on a string but it ain't got that swing

You speed it up we slow it down

A frontier wilder than the west ever was

No sheriff round this outlaw town

So superman if you're listening

Help us out you're on the team

For truth and justice the american way

The fight for right's not what it seems with laser beams

With gun and sword there is no reward

But we're fighting on we are contenders

We've won we've lost and we've counted up the cost

And we've evened out the scores we are contenders

You're black or white arab christian israelite

We are hiding in plain sight we are contenders

No virgin birth is going to claim the earth

We know what you're worth we are contenders
