Testo di 'Real Live Love' di Jess Klein

I was hopin' on somethin' that never could be
Hopin' that he'd give a damn about me
And willing to do anything to believe
Hopin' on somethin' that never could be

I was runnin' with blinders and carryin' knives
Endangered my body and both of our lives
Actin' like I had no need to survive
Runnin' with blinders and carryin' knives

When, when will we see?
It ain't love
If it ain't free
And I'm tired of playin' it tough
And these fantasies ain't good enough
I want real live love for the soul of me

Soldiers are terrified, governors bored
Freedom's for rich people, fightin's for poor
Dyin' to settle some billionaire's score
Soldiers are terrified, governors bored

Runnin' around with a glint in our eye
Feeding on oil that's milking us dry
And blowin' up engines where angels would fly
Runnin' around with a glint in our eye

When, when will we see?
It ain't love
If it ain't free
And I'm tired of playin' it tough
And these fantasies ain't good enough
I want real live love for the soul of me

It could be your great end Or your sinner's sole reprieve Not to know how to fight But still to believe

There's so much to see when you just crack your eyes Or when the world just takes you by surprise Force you to witness an angry wave rise So much to see when you just crack your eyes

But once they're open you can't put 'em back You bought the goods don't complain what it lacks Just put down the armor and follow the path Cause once it's open you can't put it back

When, when will we see?
It ain't love
If it ain't free
And I'm tired of playin' it tough
And these fantasies ain't good enough
I want real live love for the soul of me
