Beg Your Pardon
4
Chorus: Beg the question, bend the truth
5
Bail out the basement while there's holes in the roof
6
In the beginning they said there was light
7
There ain't much left of it now
8
We're lost in the darkness, searching sound and sight
9
Of an answer to the what, where or how
10
We're talking 'bout freedom while we're locked in a cell
11
Dreaming of a world without war
12
Forced to live on the boundaries of hell
13
Like no-one's ever thought of peace before
14
What's the point of preaching peace if it's something you don't feel?
15
What's the point of talking love if you think that love ain't real?
16
Where's the hope in hopelessness? Where's the truth in lies?
17
Don't try to hold my hand if you can't look me in the eyes
18
Chorus
19
In the beginning they said there was light
20
But somebody's burnt out the fuse
21
And now we're all lost in eternal night
22
Looking for a candle to use
23
Lots of little candles, isolated hope
24
Frail little flames in the gale
25
Lost little people who just can't cope
26
Knocking their heads on the nail
27
What's the point of talking freedom if you just protect yourself?
28
What's the point of preaching sharing as you accumulate your wealth?
29
It's so easy to be giving if the things you give ain't real
30
It's easy to lie if your ignore the things you feel
31
Chorus
32
In the beginning they said there was light
33
But we never had the eyes to see
34
But rather than struggling or putting up a fight
35
We ran like lemmings to the sea
36
No-one really wants to get it all together
37
It's easier to just grab what you can
38
Everybody's going it, hell for leather
39
Building little castles in the sand
40
Hypocrisy, delusion, lies, pretence, deceit
41
Think only of yourself and the world's at your feet
42
I don't believe the things you say, you make bullshit of the truth
43
The game you play's offensive and you life's the living proof
44
Chorus (x 2)
45
In the beginning they said there was light
46
But I'm tired of hearing their lies
47
I'm tired of deceit, gonna put up a fight
48
I'm going to use my own eyes
49
Gonna make MY decisions, live my own life
50
They can keep their darkness and gloom
51
Hypocrisy, trickery, I've had enough
52
They can keep their destruction and doom
53
I've only one life and I'll live it my way
54
They can keep their restrictions and law
55
If they think different I'll have one thing to say
56
"Fuck off cos I've heard it before"
Lynn Anderson - I Beg Your Pardon, I Nev...
