lyrics

if I am the last man standing , the last man to go
if I am The last on out of this plane, the last man to get stoned
I will race down the city streets and shout out my wedding vows
I’ll turn up the music and I’ll burn one down

I followed her to the north of England but I could not pay the rent
I held her in my arms one time, she came and she went
She is the fire of my heart, the freedom of my soul
She might be gone but she comes with me everywhere that I go

How do you raise a family when there is war in the streets
The price of a mans freedom is hanging in the trees
Nothing of worth will ever come from a bomb or the barrel of a gun
A man can not be free unless he becomes a slave to the ones he does not love

The hate inside your heart , will eat away your soul
You would burn down the trees to satisfy your thirst for gold
You suffer my friend because you cannot have the things that you want
A richest man on earth has nothing, if he does not have love

When they bury me back into the earth , when I time has come
When I meet my maker out on the sea beneath the golden setting sun
I will face the music, Naked as the day I was born
And I will come back down here and play you one more song
