Monday morning
runs to Sunday night
screaming slow me down
before the new year dies;
well, it won't take much
to kill a lovin' smile
and every mother with a baby
crying in her arms, singin':
[Chorus:]
Give me help! Give me strength!
Give a soul a night of fearless sleep!
Give me love! Give me peace!
Don't you know these days you pay for everything!
Got high hopes!
I got high hopes! Χ3
Coming from the city,
coming from the wild
I see a breathless army
breaking like a cloud,
they're gonna smother love,
they're gonna shoot your hopes,
before the meek inherit
they'll learn to hate themselves
(chorus)X2
Tell me someone now
what's the price,
I wanna buy some time
and maybe live my life,
I wanna have a wife,
I wanna have some kids,
I wanna look in their eyes
and know they'll stand a chance
(chorus)
Got high hopes!
I got high hopes! Χ3
