paul smith (us) - that's what i said lyrics

Loading...

i’ve seen the wicked grin
from another poor man’s private pain
while the sounds of silent screaming cease
i’ve watched rulers and kings
do some s+d+stic things
all in the name of perfect peace

yeah, yeah, yeah

i’ve watched injustice prevail
and i have seen the system fail
how my heart cries when the good die young
johnny came marching in
from the war they wouldn’t let him win
branded a fool when all was said and done

not hard to see there’s heartache everywhere
sometimes i wonder, does god hear our prayer

still i ain’t seen the righteous forsaken
or their children begging bread
that’s what i know, that’s what i said

i ain’t seen the righteous forsaken
or their children begging bread
that’s what i know, that’s what i said
that’s what i know, that’s what i said
i’ve heard the hero fall
from his idealistic pedestal
i have seen him honored for his sin
the hungry and the needy dared
to find out if somebody cared
only to be turned back to the street again

but no matter what my earthly eyes may see
i know the truth and it has set me free

god takes care of the righteous
and their children won’t beg bread
that’s what i know, that’s what i said

god takes care of the righteous
and their children won’t beg bread
that’s what i know, that’s what i said
that’s what i know, that’s what i said

it may come as quite a shock
or maybe not

i ain’t never seen the righteous forsaken
or their children begging bread
i ain’t seen the righteous forsaken, whoo!
that’s what i know, that’s what i said
that’s what i know, that’s what i said
that’s what i know, that’s what i said
that’s what i know, that’s what i said…
