Paroles de Redmen and their wives

Roll out of bed, they're issuing lives
For redmen and their wives
Offering hands and twiddling thumbs
For dreams that never come

Often said you better not look away
You'll lose the day
The way i see it, it's already lost
So then be it, they say

They're sharpening knives and primitive lives
For redmen and their wives
Bread winners and klutz
And losing it all before the one eye shuts
Well, i see it as paying the price
Nobody feels it these days

Well, i'd like to go and kiss them away
Well, i'd like to know another way
Did you notice that
They're taking back lives from redmen

Just to give them time to find the light
And other things that bind with pride
A killer's waking up this time
To honest gleam and needless pride

We'll never see it shine
We'll never find the time
We'll never see it shine
We'll never find the time
