Brett Dennen Ain't No Reason (Live At Paste) Lyrics

There ain't no reason that things are this way it's how they've always been and they intend to stay i can't explain why we live this way we do it every day Preacher's on the podium speaking the sayings prophets on the sidewalk begging for change old ladies laughing from the fire escape cursing my name i got a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same a widow with a pigeon with broken wing you can spend your whole life working for something just to have it taken away people walking around pushing back their desk wearing pay tags like there necklaces and bracelets talking bout nothing not thinking bout death every little heartbeat every little breath people walk a tight rope on a razors edge carrying their hurt and hatred and weapons it could be a bomb or a bullet or a pin or a thought or a word or a senses there ain't no reason that things are this way it's how they've always been and they intend to stay i don't no why i say the things i say them any way 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 back to the bone breaking your back make you sell your soul like a lung is filled with coal suffacating slow the wind blows wild a i may move the 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 on my toes slavery stitch unto the fabric of my clothes chaos and comosion 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 ain't no reason that things are this way it's how they've always been and thay intend to stay i can't explain why we live this way we do it every day
