Barricades (Letra)

Close my eyes
Close my eyes
And ask myself a question
And ask myself a question
Why is I do what I do
Why is I do what I do
Am I looking for some happy definition?
Am I looking for some happy definition?
Of Life, and love and the corners of the truth
Life, and love and the corners of the truth
Or am I just some curious bystander
Or am I just some curious bystander
Looking at the world through a child’s eyes
Looking at the world through a child’s eyes
Sunlight, always shining on my shoulders
Sunlight, always shining on my shoulder
While the storm rages on deep inside, deep inside
While the storm rages on deep inside

And it seems so hard
And it seems so hard
To keep it all together
To keep it all together
When the walls are fallin’ down
When the walls are fallin’ down
On every side
On every side
I’ll be damned
I’ll be damned
If I give up on it easy
If I give up on you easy
I’ve worked too hard
I’ve worked too hard
To get the barricades this high
To put the barricades aside

Now This world is a stage
This world is a stage
We’re meant to play on
We’re meant to play on
Direction from inside
Direction from inside
On what to do
On what to do
I know I should have all the answers
I don’t know how I could have all the answers
Deep inside I haven’t got a clue, not a clue
When inside I don’t have a clue

Told myself that I would be ok
Tell me something
Told myself I’d be alright
And I’ll be okay
No doubt
Told myself I’d be alright
Somewhere low I know
No doubt
That I’ve been lyin
So when do I know
I can’t believe it took 30 years
When I’ve been lyin’?
To figure that shit out
I can’t believe it took 30 years

To figure that shit out
And it seems so hard

To keep it all together
And it seems so hard
When the walls are fallin’ down
To keep it all together
On every side
When the walls are fallin’ down
I’ll be damned
On every side
If I give up on it easy
I’ll be damned
I’ve worked too hard
If I give up on you easy
To get the barricades this high
I’ve worked too hard
To put the barricades aside

We should have left at once
We should have never stayed
Now they have drawn the line
Now there is a barricade
Now there’s a barricade
A barricade
Who makes promises?
Who makes promises through a thick lead door?
Through an intercom on the 23rd floor?
Who makes promises and then promises more?
Who makes promises for el salvador?

Bobby’s getting called. billy’s getting called
Juan’s getting called, john’s getting called . . .
They get a letter in the mail, they get a telephone call

It says, "come on, come on . . ."
It says, "come on . . ."

All the american boys
Asleep beneath american shade
Awake on foreign soil
They awake inside the barricades
Inside the barricades

The sun curves over the jungle
And trees grow from the dead nun’s lungs
But when the ship is in the harbor
Then the cyanide pill’s on their tongue
Inside the barricade, inside the barricade

Girls, no more going out dancing
And boys, there’s no more getting laid
You’re gonna parachute to the holy land
And you will drop into the barricades
Inside the barricades, inside the barricades

Who makes promises for the neutron bomb?
It will sign your lungs to death
And leave the corporate walls unharmed . . .
Who makes promises with such insidious charm?
But it would have made things cleaner
In old vietnam . . .

That’s when kevin got called up
Ritchie got called . . .
And kevin never came back
Ritchie never came home

Their folks got a letter in the mail
They got a letter in the mail . . .

I ain’t gonna die for standard oil
I.b.m. . . . i wouldn’t die for them!
G.e.? not me!

"come on," they say, "come on"
They say "come on,"
And you say, "ahh" . . .
You just say "later!"
