Lyrics

It's been a long long time
Since you sang about a revolution
And we`re lost here in the dark
So blind that we can't see
Well I'm inclined to agree
With your philosophy
They`re the thoughts
I hold close to my heart

Day after day
There`s a new wave of destruction
Time after time
The eye that turned was blind
Such a strange symmetry
Though we choose to agree
As we all turn through space
And through time

They didn't listen to a word that John said
They didn't listen to Luther King
And the tears of Timothy Leary
Fell like the rain in early spring
Just like the rain in early spring
Now the birds refuse to sing

They say the times they are a changing
The writing's on the wall
Kings, dreams and empires
Like autumn leaves will fall
Why do we choose to ignore
All that has gone before?
Suffering that`s the price that you pay

They didn't listen to a word that John said
They didn't listen to Luther King
And the tears of Timothy Leary
Fell like the rain in early spring
Just like the rain in early spring
Now the birds refuse to sing
