The Innocent

I want you to want me I want you to know What it is that I've got here What I'm looking for Down on the outside He knows you're out there Something from nothing Do you care to share my prayer? Save me Chorus: Get used to it The innocent Get used to it Rich politicians Distribute the wealth But they're afraid that I'll run away And never better myself Down on the inside They're building statues of steel Protect me from your enemies And there they sit with their children weeping -Chorus- If you don't want me tagging along Why don't you turn around and tell me so? Instead of wasting my time But on the horizon It's so hard to tell Help me up to touch the sky Or keep me down on the ground by promises
