Father

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
