ONE WAY ROAD
Lyrics for One Way Road are here!




They come they take
It's never enough because they can't relate
To the real world
Thinking that the oyster is just for the pearl
They start those wars
They want to own the land sea and all the stars
And right those wrongs
They change their history with their poison forked tongues.

All right, who's they?
A: Maybe it's the government of today
Or B: for the big business man who thinks the whole world revolves around him
Or C: for the corrupt official for A and B he be the man in the middle
Or D: for discoverer for Cook and Columbus and the pirate plunderers.

Doesn't mean I ain't got no fight now just because I don't got a gun
The lyrical is heavier than lead and this guitar is my canon
Just like Martin and Mahatma I'm gonna love I'm gonna over come
Maybe its E: for all of the above but I don't want to be...

Wrong way going down the one-way road wrong way going down the one-way road
Wrong way going down the one-way road gonna turn it all around gonna back it on up
Wrong way going down the one-way road wrong way going on a one-way road
Wrong way going down the one-way road gonna turn it all around gonna back it on up

These men who they say we should follow BUT we can't follow men if their hearts are hollow and
Mmmm yes how can we respect puppet regimes we do not elect?
Straight up straight up like Pinocchio and every time they lie man the fire just grows so
Now's time to be part of the solution raise your fist if you believe in revolution

Doesn't mean I ain't got no fight now just because I don't got a gun
The lyrical is heavier than lead and this guitar is my canon
Just like Martin and Mahatma I'm gonna love I'm gonna over come
Maybe its E for all of the above but I don't want to be....

Living in a pantomime living in a fantasy
I don't want to be don't want to be I don't want to be don't want to be no
Living in a pantomime living in a fantasy
I don't want to be don't want to be I don't want to be don't want to be...

Wrong way going down the one-way road wrong way going down the one-way road
Wrong way going down the one-way road gonna turn it all around gonna back it on up
Wrong way going down the one-way road wrong way going on a one-way road
Wrong way going down the one-way road gonna turn it all around gonna back it on up

YEAH! the video gave the electric version justice. i still love the acoustic and feel this version a lil overproduced and poppy.
The video gave me that EXCITEMENT for the album again and the ENERGY i miss
LIVE MUSIC!

just hope jon doesnt just talk about world problems cause the average person knows about them just doesnt care.....as john fans do know and do care.
these lyrics are great, along with the message plus.....
the....DOBRO DOBRO DOBRO! keep it rustic and rooted

glorious exuberance
