Great Big Sea - Someday Soon lyrics
[Great Big Sea - Someday Soon lyrics]
They keep talking of the things they'd do
If we'd only vote them in
One more dollar and all the
Bickering and suffering would end
If you'd sign your 'X' in favour
It's three jobs for every man
You can burn your boats, thats what they said
It seemed they had it planned
And I hope they haven't forgotten
The promises they made
Cause they said they'd stop the fighting
And they said they would bring peace
And they said they'd find a serum
That can cure all our disease
And they said they'd house the homeless
And put black and white in tune
And they said they'd feed a hungry child
And I hope it's someday soon
Saw a man sleep in an alley lane
With a paper for a bed
And the headline shown beneath the man
And this is what they read
"If elected there would be no
Persons living in the street"
But the paper couldn't even provide
Shelter for his freezing feet
And I hope they haven't forgotten
The promises they made
Cause they said they'd stop the fighting
And they said they would bring peace
And they said they'd find a serum
That can cure all our disease
And they said they'd house the homeless
And put black and white in tune
And they said they'd feed a hungry child
And I hope it's someday soon
Well they said it would be so different
If we'd would only play their games
And I've been playing for so long and
I swear it's still the same!
Cause they said they'd stop the fighting
And they said they would bring peace
And they said they'd find a serum
That can cure all our disease
And they said they'd house the homeless
And put black and white in tune
And they said they'd feed a hungry child
And I hope it's someday soon
Cause they said they'd stop the fighting
And they said they would bring peace
And they said they'd find a serum
That can cure all our disease
And they said they'd house the homeless
And put black and white in tune
And they said they'd feed a hungry child
And I hope it's someday soon
If we'd only vote them in
One more dollar and all the
Bickering and suffering would end
If you'd sign your 'X' in favour
It's three jobs for every man
You can burn your boats, thats what they said
It seemed they had it planned
And I hope they haven't forgotten
The promises they made
Cause they said they'd stop the fighting
And they said they would bring peace
And they said they'd find a serum
That can cure all our disease
And they said they'd house the homeless
And put black and white in tune
And they said they'd feed a hungry child
And I hope it's someday soon
Saw a man sleep in an alley lane
With a paper for a bed
And the headline shown beneath the man
And this is what they read
"If elected there would be no

But the paper couldn't even provide
Shelter for his freezing feet
And I hope they haven't forgotten
The promises they made
Cause they said they'd stop the fighting
And they said they would bring peace
And they said they'd find a serum
That can cure all our disease
And they said they'd house the homeless
And put black and white in tune
And they said they'd feed a hungry child
And I hope it's someday soon
Well they said it would be so different

And they said they'd house the homeless
And put black and white in tune
And they said they'd feed a hungry child
