Lyrics

"There must be some kinda way out of here"
 Oh, said the joker to the thief
 I want to tell you now there's just too much confusion
 And I can't, no, I can't get no relief
 Ah, these businessmen, they all, they drink our wine
 And the plowman, well, he dig my earth
 And you know that ah none of them along the line
 Can show me what any of this is worth
 You know we wanted to see it now, didn't we? Didn't we?
 "There ain't no reason to get excited"
 Ah, the thief, you know he kindly spoke
 Well, now there are those among us right here, right now
 Who still see life as some kind of a joke
 But you and I, we have been through that
 I tell you that this, this is not our fate, no no no
 Now, let us all not talk falsely now
 You know the hour, well, it's getting late
 I said all along the watchtower, the princes, they kept the view
 While the women, the women, they came and then they went
 Oh, and the barefoot servants too, that's me, that's you
 But outside there's a cold distance
 Listen for the wildcats, here them growl
 Two riders were approaching as the wind began to howl
 Oh, there are those among us right here, right now
 Who still see life as some kind of a joke
 All along the watchtower, said, all along this watchtower
 Those of you who still have eyes to see, ears hear me
 You will be saved by grace in the end
 Saved by time if you don't understand
 That your hatred is rooted in your fear
 And your paranoia and insecurities
 Well, they don't belong here
 You got to take someones hand
 You got to learn to make your stand
 And it's a one, two, three, four
 Look at the sky, you can open the door
 And take my hand, take my hand, take my hand
 Ah, don't you want to touch
 Don't you want to feel
 Don't you know that this is real
 I said shelter me, shelter me
 Shelter me, shelter me
 And save yourself, save yourself
 Save, save, save
 Save, save, save
 Save, save, save
 Save, save
 And you, and you
 And you are a part of the world
 You, you, you are a part of the world
 You gotta learn to touch, to feel
 You know that you are real
 I said, learn learn
 You are a part of the world
