indio saravanja - thieves (let me ask you) كلمات الأغنية

so the thieves took everything
some say they took it all
they took the money and they all skipped town
sold us down the river and had a ball
now you owe a hundred strangers
for your thousand slaves
for the promise of the glamour
and the pleasure that it gave
all their gains were misbegotten
they had the hands they played all fixed
you knew their plans were rotten mister
but you kept on smiling and turning tricks
just to find your life in ashes
piling up around your shoes
will you just stand there pointing fingers now
or will you try to help us through
you went on through the grooming schools
like a racehorse set for the gates
just to wind up in this concrete stall
working for a lifetime left in wait
i guess you thought it was alright
as long as you could put some away
well i hope they left some crumbs for you
on the other side of your working days
but now your kids want everything for free
and say they’ve got nothing to do
everyones a stranger in their own home town
feeling so motherless and blue
they’re not asking you to be the goddess
or the man that ran out on you
but just to be the one they really need
oh will you try to help them through

don’t it bring you down when you go downtown
and main street feels like a tomb
there’s nothing there no more since the new box stores
and the suburbs boomed
you see the lights shine through the curtains
t.v.’s blinking at you all of the time
as you walk these empty streets uncertain
why it’s feeling like the end of the line
i heard a woman talking to a crowd
down on parliament row
she said ‘i really love my country man
but i fear my government you know
because we made them god almighty
and they forgot the golden rule
and there’s a dark hand pulling at the world of men
bigger than any old ship of fools
it knows the more you need outside of you
the less you’ll feel complete
til you’re so haunted by the things you think you want
you can only dream of defeat
make you sell your own soul down a river
where fortune only favors the few
but i believe we’ll be delivered friend
and that we’re bound to make it through’

i’ve lived beside you girl for some time now
but mostly i’ve lived on the edge
lately i’ve been like a teacup
sitting on your ledge
trying to keep myself full of sweetness
but bitterness keeps knocking me down
every time you want a drink from me
i’m already down on the ground
there’s a lot of people wondering now
if things are only getting worse
if the ancient song from the book of life
will offer up another verse
and they’ll wave to you from the tallest ships
of a sinking point of view
if you believe the lies that fall from their lips
they’re going to drag you down there too
til you become the judge and jury
and the criminal who rules
over a world where nothing’s left to love
only a broken hearted fool
who’s still measuring his happiness
they way they always taught him to
in a game that he could never win
that could never help us through
