jim johnston - a matter of conscience lyrics

Loading...

words and music: jim johnston
solo: jim brammer
keys: clyde wilson

i know what you’re telling me to do, but i can’t ignore the bended truth.
i will always remember, what the world will forget,
a future once filled with promise is not filled with anything – except with regret.

i know what i want is not what i need, what are you taking me for?
it consumes every thought – the air that i breathe,
don’t let it trouble your conscience anymore.

there’s no way to make me understand the perfect reality,
and there’s always a scapegoat right at hand, – just paint the target on me.
we fell for all of the jargon, i can still hear the cry,
join a volunteer army that never did anything, and never asked why.

i know what i want is not what i need, what are you taking me for?
it consumes every thought – the air that i breathe,
don’t let it trouble your conscience anymore.

the past is a noose that dangles just under my chin,
you swear that you don’t despise us, take a stand, and lie to us once more.
we are what we are… think about it.

i will always remember, you -ssume i’ll forget,
a future once filled with promise, replaced by a memory, that’s filled with regret.
i know what i want is not what i need,
but it just comes back again and consumes every thought – the air that i breathe,
i guess i’d still like to know what might have been.

you can say what you want, i know what i need. what are you taking me for?
you know that i can’t accept my defeat.
it’s not a matter of conscience anymore.
