letra de what we are - rich krueger

now that your world has gone turned inside out
and everything you hold true is plagued with doubt
if there’s still a place where life’s wrestled free from fear
and there’s a god who loves us
it ain’t here
look, you and i both know that mistakes were made
as the philosopher said even emperors will
but it was telling the emperor what kings just don’t want to hear
that got the philosopher k!lled
when speaking lies is safer than speaking true
listen friend. there’s something you can do
take your broken wooden heart
and carve yourself a gypsy violin
make it laugh just like a mother’s crying
listen while it whispers ‘the world isn’t dying
and tomorrow‘s really not that far
remember
tomorrow’s what we are’
get in my car. i’ll drive us down to ancient rome
54 ad. emperor nero ‘s at home
at night in his garden, christian torches- aglow
he entertained the m-sses with a fiddle and a bow
and like the late spade cooley, he kicked his wife to death
he k!lled his brother and his mother, too. it’s true

and before rome knew what hit her, fires would grow
tell me, does this sound like anyone you already know?
somewhere hope can’t hurt you, it only makes you strong
somewhere no one claims a thing’s right that’s just plain wrong
somewhere men know we must walk awhile in another man’s shoes
and that a lie is a lie, and not ‘fake news’
the stones on your chest ain’t really new
these fallen seas around us can rise for me and for you
take your broken wooden heart
and carve yourself a gypsy violin
make it laugh just like a mother’s crying
listen while it whispers ‘the world isn’t dying
and tomorrow‘s really not that far
remember
tomorrow’s what we are’
