Текст песни
There I was the prodigal son
Living it up out on the run
I was, yeah I was
There I was just dirt on the road
Hustling in the rain and a begging in the cold
I was, yeah I was
Now here I am standing at your door,
I ran away but I’m back here for your shelter
Won’t you gimmie shelter
There I was running up the hill
Bayonet fixed ready for the killing
I was, yeah I was
There I was out in the desert
Trembling with fear but bent on vengeance
I was, yeah I was
Now here I am steeped in blood
I’d turn back if only if only I could
Yeah I could
Well there ain’t nothin’ I ain’t tried
To get myself gratified
And I have cheat and I have lied
But I wasn’t ever satisfied
There’s gotta be a better way
There I was the king of the world
But all I could see was my own hurt
It was, yeah it was
There you were calling off the street
But all I head was the sound of marching feet
Yeah the marching feet
Now here I am wrapped in your arms,
I pushed you down till you drowned me with your love
Yeah your love
Well there ain’t nothin’ I ain’t tried
To get myself gratified
You know I cheat and you know I lied
But I wasn’t ever satisfied
There’s gotta be a better way
See my hands drenched in blood
I’d wash it away if only, if only I could
If I could
With a dollar bill I’ve hypnotised
With shock and awe I’ve terrorised
I’ve filled the world with my lies
The innocent I’ve demonised
We’ll there ain’t nothin’ I ain’t tried
To get myself gratified
Well I have cheat and I have lied
But I wasn’t ever satisfied
There’s gotta be a better way
a better way
