Ain’t No Reason (acoustic version) Lyrics by Brett Dennen
0
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 every day 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 gotta a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same A window and a pigeon with a broken wing You can spend your whole life working for something Just to have it taken away People walk around pushing back their debts Wearing paychecks like necklaces and bracelets Talking about nothing, not thinking about death Every little heartbeat, every little breath People walk a tightrope on a razors edge Carrying their hurt and hatred and weapons It could be a bomb, or a bullet, or a pen Or a thought, or a word, or a sentence There ain't no reason things are this way Its how they've always been and they intend to stay I don't know why I say the things 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 me free, yes Prison walls still standing tall Some things never change at all Keep on building prisons, gonna fill them all Keep on building bombs, gonna drop them all Working your fingers bare to the bone Breaking' your back, make you sell your soul Like a lung, it's 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 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 me free, yes There ain't no reason things are this way Its how they've always been and they intend to stay I can't explain why we live this way We do it every day
