Current song lyrics
Well we pounded the pavement between<br />dotted lines<br />But we always belonged to the<br />fugitive kind<br />We were never the best but we were<br />better than this<br />To be made to bow down among princes<br />I got thrown around hallways and<br />bedrooms and towns<br />And you run from that voice and<br />it drags you around<br />It don't matter the ruse or the<br />weapons we choose<br />There is only one thing that can free us<br /><br /><br />Oh so here I am<br />The lion and the lamb<br />I was born to be telling this story<br />I could only be telling this story<br />I will always be telling this story<br /><br /><br />Well our father married our <br />mother too young<br />And he took on a world like a<br />fortunate son<br />But in the cellar downstairs waiting<br />for the bomb scare<br />He would hide from us under the kitchen<br />Where she simmered so soft with<br />her weapons of tin<br />And like so many suppers she just<br />gave us to him<br />And he never did guess in her cast<br />iron dress<br />She was burning beyond recognition<br /><br /><br />Oh it's not over yet<br />I can't forget<br />I am going to be telling this story<br />I was born to be telling this story<br />I will always be telling this story<br /><br /><br />Sometimes I feel so reckless and wild<br />Sometimes I feel like a motherless child<br />I gave nobody life, I am nobody's wife<br />And I seem to be nobody's daughter<br />So red is the color that I like the best<br />It's your Indian skin and the badge<br />on my chest<br />The heat of my pride<br />The lips of a bride<br />The sad heart of the truth<br />And the flag of youth<br />And blood that is thicker than water<br /><br /><br />I was made to be telling this story<br />I was born to be telling this story<br />I am going to be telling this story<br />I could only be telling this story<br />I will always be telling this story
