The Minus 5 - John Barleycorn Must Live текст песни

Give me liberty or give me bread
I seek my freedom where ever I must
In younger times, San Pablo Bay
Tomorrow it might be there up across the railroad tress

I leap, I land and gather what's left
It never is quite so much as I think
I pick myself up, lay many down
Yeah this could be the horse that might pull me out of this sink
But I'll still waste the day
Everybody tells me that it couldn't end up any other way

There is a sermon
Board of complaint
A congregation, sinner to saint
Where we are called, all called to forgive
The congregation's shouting
John Barleycorn must live
John Barleycorn must live
John Barleycorn must live

In New York City my work is well done
In subway and street and black limousine
When I wake up it's not enough
Fifty-seven to fifty-eight or somewhere in-between
I wasn't invited but came just the same
And now the same privileges extended to you
I will be there, for sick and blame
Yeah I'll be there in China town falling down Grand Avenue
Oh I won't waste a way
I'm not the one who wanted to see it through another day

There is a sermon
Board of complaint
A congregation, sinner to saint
Where we are called, all called to forgive
The congregation's shouting
John Barleycorn must live
John Barleycorn must live
John Barleycorn must live

Oh I won't waste away
Everybody tells me that it couldn't end up any other way

There is a sermon
Board of complaint
A congregation, sinner to saint
Where we are called, all called to forgive
The congregation's shouting
John Barleycorn must live
John Barleycorn must live
John Barleycorn must live

Give me liberty or give me bread
I wasn't invited but came just the same
I leap, I land and gather what's left
I wasn't invited but came just the same
I wasn't invited but came just the same
I wasn't invited but came just the same
I wasn't invited but came just the same
I wasn't invited but came just the same
