Lyrics
Brett dennen – ain't no reason
There ain't no reason things are this way It's how they always been and they intend to stay I can't explain why we live this way We do it everyday
Preachers on the podium speaking of saints Prophets on the sidewalk begging for change Old ladies laughing from the fire escape, cursing my name I got a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same A window and a pigeon with a broken wing You can spend you whole life working for something Just to have it taken away People walk around pushing back their debts Wearing pay checks like necklaces and bracelets Talking 'bout nothing, not thinking 'bout death Every little heartbeat, every little breath People walk a tight rope on a razor's edge Carrying their hurt and hatred and weapons It could be a bomb, or a bullet, or a pin Or a thought, or a word, or a sentence
There ain't no reason things are this way It's how they always been and they intend to stay I don't know why I say the things that I say But I say them anyway
But love will come set me free Love will come set me free, I do believe Love will come set me free, I know it will Love will come set my free, yes
Prison walls still standing tall Some things never change at all Keep on building prisons, gonna fill them all Keep building bombs, gonna drop them all Working young fingers bare to the bone Breaking your back, make you sell your soul Like a lung is filled with coal, suffocating slow The wind blows wild and I may move But politicians lie and I am not fooled You don't need no reason or a three piece suit, to argue the truth The air on my skin and the world under my toes Slavery is stitched into the fabric of my clothes Chaos and commotion wherever I go Love, I try to follow
Love will come set me free Love will come set me free, I do believe Love will come set me free, I know it will Love will come set my free, yes
There ain't no reason things are this way It's how they always been and they intend to stay I can't explain why we live this way We do it everyday
