Jess Klein Real Live Love
I was hopin’ on something’ that never cold 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’ll never make up for all that you lack
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
And I know how to fight
So I’d willingly lay down my life
For some real live love for the soul of me
Real live love for the soul of me
