Drown out the stars at night
Just to wake up with the sun
We work away our lives
Comb our hair like everyone
If love could be the light
We wouldn't have to run
Take our leisure in the day
Let the evening come undone
All I want to see is a little change
'Cause compassionate is synonymous with strange
Rise early every day
Take the bus and don't be late
We seem a little weary
But really we're okay
We make lust and call it love
At the barrel of a gun
We work for dead-end pay
Never stop to see the sun
All I want to see is a little change
'Cause compassionate is synonymous with strange
Oh think of all that could be
See the sun through the leaves
Can we love each other
Before we're out of time
