Lyrics
Hey Betty
Hey Betty
Hey Betty
In the middle of the struggle for our daily bread
When I need forgiveness from the living and the dead
When I need faith in what's bigger than me
I turn to the sky and I start to dream
I float away to the worlds in the dark
And our little prison, it don't seem so hard
And I laugh at wondering who made you girl
That you could love us locked down in hell
With everyone watching you let them fall down
Tears on your face they water the ground
Taste on your tongue lets you know where you're from
You dream you're beside yourself
He say Hey Betty, We come too far
We come so far we don't know where we are
He say Hey Betty, We come far as the eye can see
Far as I can see
Trouble always trouble at the heart of our joy
Down the center of Main Street in Baghdad and Detroit
At the start of a deep field, at the end of your rope
Questions to answers, madness in hope
