love junkies

Mi amiga la Jan me envía Montreal desde esta rolita de Buffy Sainte-Marie, cantante indígena canadiense (cree?) que va muy d'accord con el tema de hoy....ja!


THE BIG ONES GET AWAY
Hey, Baby I just got back from town
where the bribes are paid
Honey, they turned my offer down
They say the deal’s already made

So now I gotta stand and watch
while it all comes down
and the buzzards and the hawks
and the judges and the mob
circle around

Now if I were the
queen of all the world
I would go in chains
just to see you free

of the ropes that bind you
and the role you play
and the pride that hooks you
while the big ones get away

Love junkies wanna change the world:
it quickly stays the same
and money junkies hire all the smart ones
Power junkies run the game

One step at a time
Polarity Hill
If the bad guys don’t get you
then the good guys will

With angels on the take
and gangsters in the yard
Hey don't the wars come easy
Hey don't the peace come hard

And if I had a way
to reach the sky
I’d grab that crescent moon
wield it like a knife
save you from the lies

From the ropes that bind you
and the role you play
and the game that hooks you
while the big ones get away.

Buffy Sainte-Marie
