In a past life we were ancient kings
We weren't wise but had everything (yeah)
And ever since the law was set in stone
Its been a long long way to the bottom of the hill yeah
David stood in the summer sweat
Only clothed in his own regret and
He watched the ages pass with ease
Its been a long long way to the bottom of the hill yeah
I build an empire like Constantine
Then watched it fall like the autumn leaves
Baptized in uncertainty
Its been a long long way to the bottom of the hill yeah
I got my mind made up
I think I've said enough
I got my gun in hand
I clean it with my tooth brush
I can't change the world
And I can't make you love
There's darkness like a cancer
But the sun keeps coming up
The was a time when Isac said
"The sky is falling so watch you hear"
And if I wasn't so bad at math
I'd build charts and graphs and charts and graphs
Three and three make thirty three
That's when they hung him upon the tree
Past Golgotha to Gethsemane
Its a long long way to the bottom of the hill yeah
I got my mind made up
I think I've said enough
I got my gun in hand
I clean it with my tooth brush
I can't change the world
And I can't make you love
There's darkness like a cancer
But the sun keeps coming up
I can't change the world
And I can't make you love
There's darkness like a cancer
But the sun keeps coming up
(Said one, two, three, four)
Bang, bang bring down the walls
Can't you hear my people call
The more things change the more they stay the same
Always looking for a face to blame
I said bang bang bring down the walls
Can't you hear my people call
The more things change the more they stay the same
Always looking for a face to blame again
I can't change the world
And I can't make you love
There's darkness like a cancer
But the sun keeps coming up
I can't change the world
And I can't make you love
There's darkness like a cancer
But the sun keeps coming up
(We came we saw we carried on we sang your songs we fell in love)
