David Knopfler - Means Of Survival Lyrics

I said hey - how can you justify the need
I said wait - how could you see but not believe?
How could you leave - walking away on denial

I said hey - can you justify your greed?
Do you think - hearts like mine don4t bleed?
I4m on my way - another day
Consumed before arrival

For sins such as these the shadows are long
A heart must believe and a heart must be strong
But with friends such as these
Maybe I have the means of survival

You say ""Hey - I can4t go on with you this way""
I agree - Baby something had to change
I4m on my way - no ride is free
Fighting for survival

What kind of jealousies brought darkness to you?
So many damaged by the evil you do
I4m on my way - yeah yeah
I4m on my way

For sins such as these
The shadows are long
A heart that can grieve
Is a heart that is strong
With friends I believe
Maybe I4ve found the means of survival
