I saw bright open common sense
I do evil things and evil things return
And I’m praying now, praying for me
You can’t hide, I remove from you
Every tiny strength in everything you do
And I’ll kick you down, I’ll break you with a tender touch
And then the tears cried in the tear garden will be for life
And then the tears cried in the tear garden will be for life
In the West they have made a plague
We have built the ship that sailed it to our veins
And God forbid (God forbid)
Anything should break that chain
At our root we’re connected through
A biology, a universal cruelty
Send me home (send me home)
Return me to a lonely womb
And then the tears cried in the tear garden will be for life
And then the tears cried in the tear garden will be for life
