Ode To Liberty Lyrics by Philip Lynott

Ode To Liberty Lyrics

    The dream was not a vision
    Or some preminition like we were told
    It was no figment of the imagination
    To prove that we could be bought or sold

    The doctor of the dimond run
    Could be revealed to the intellegent
    But this is what i resent
    Who cares for the ignorent, the intellegent
    The synics approch was mean
    Who cares for anything in this whole wide world
    Except me

    And this opinion must not confuse the issue
    My appearence, my condition, or state of delivery
    I am stating the obvious
    This is a protest
    There must me a collusion
    This is no shakespearean speach
    This is a statement
    Made by one who can not practice what he preaches

    The statue of liberty
    Has engraved on it's wall
    Give me your poor, give me your needy
    Give me them all
    We need something like this
    For this world to coexist
    It would be so easy
    To act so pretensious
    To act as if it was hepocracy
    To act condisending
    When in fact it's the world we're mending
    And that's why i can't relax
    Cause inside my coat it's a pistol that i pack
    We must beware of a suprise neuclear attack
    We must be ready to strike back
    I'm not pretending
    Our defense needs clearly mending
    We must leave those standing
    Forget the third world is ending
    Is starving, is crying
    Is desolate, is oh so late

    I would dearly love to return
    Through a mirror in twenty years
    And learn what the future has in store for us
    And if i learned that we lost
    And there was no hope
    For those that fight
    I would turn to drink
    And drink is drugs
    And drugs would help me sink
    And like of boat, i float
    I sail out to the sky
    To the universe and back
    Maybe to give it another try
    I don't know why, why jack
    Just to confirm our father
    Just to learn, just to heal us
