Years Go By

Feelin' a creature crawling in my mouth The sweetest secret aching to come out Oh the days go by, the days go by Oh sister tell me what the hell he's done This web is tangled like a smoking gun Oh the years go by, the years go by Oh the years go by, the years go by A coward tyrant causing a scene His sick delusions roll daily on the screen Oh the days go by, the days go by Suppressed emotion that feeds on the young Abuse of power and place it comes from Oh the years go by, the years go by Oh the years go by, the years go by If you want to bring peace To the land of the free You would lay your weapons down Between the white picket fence And the apple tree Lay your weapons down A quick decision comes down to the wire Will you put water or oil on the fire? Oh the days go by, the water rises Thousands of voices march for the cause Freedom for few has come at a cost Oh the years go by, the years go by Oh the years go by, the years go by If you want to bring peace To the land of the free You would lay your weapons down Between the white picket fence And the apple tree Lay your weapons down
