Father Songtext
von The Christians

Wait a minute let me speak,
Let me share the grief that lies behind your smile
There′s people turning bad feeling sad, misunderstanding
And the world's going mad
You watch TV, and you shake your tortured head
And I watch the world
And I really think we might be better off


Father, you′ve been a long time so lonely
Hear me now, Father
You've got a stake in my soul, so console me
I need it now, we need it now

Genocide reveals the foulest swoop
The sweetest lips received the soured fruit again
A killer swears he's just a thief
A thief declares he′s just a victim of kinds
And I watch the world, and there really isn′t more to life than dying

Father, you've been a long time so lonely
Hear me now, Father
You′ve got a stake in my soul, so console me
I need it now, we need it now
