Philip Lynott - Ode To Liberty Lyrics

Send "Ode To Liberty" ringtone to your cell

The dream was not a vision

Or some premonition like we were told

It was no figment of the imagination

To prove that we could be bought or sold

The doctor of the diamond run

Could be revealed to the intelligent

But this is what i resent

Who cares for the ignorant the intelligent

The cynics approach was mean

Who cares for anything

In this whole wide world

Except me

And this opinion must not confuse the issue

My appearance my condition or state of delivery

I am stating the obvious

This is a protest

There must me a collusion

This is no shakespearean speech

This is a statement

Made by one who can not practice what he preaches

The statue of liberty

Has engraved on its wall

'give me your poor give me your needy

Give me them all'

We need something like this

For this world to coexist

It would be so easy

To act so pretentious

To act as if it was hypocrisy

To act condescending

When in fact

It's the world we're mending

And that's why i can't relax

'cause inside my coat it's a pistol that i pack

We must beware of a surprise nuclear attack

We must be ready to strike back

I'm not pretending

Our defenses need clearly mending

We must leave on standing

Forget the third world is ending

Is starving is crying

Is desolate is oh so late

I would dearly love to return

Through a mirror in twenty years

And learn what the future

Has in store for us

And if i learned that we lost

And there was no hope

For those that fight

I would turn to drink

And drink is drugs

And drugs would help me sink

And like of boat i float

Sail out to the sky

To the universe and back

Maybe to give it another try

I don't know why why jack

Just to confirm our father

Just to learn just to heal us
