Simple Minds - Lyrics by Dag Nasty


Lyrics
All those yearswanting to be here
All those tragedies I screamed atand laughed atand threw in the trash
And still they standtheir lives burn so brightthey've long since definedwhat's wrong and what's right
Can't be sensitive
It's been done
What's left to be saidwill be spoken in tongues
Rumors flyfrom simple minds
Simple mindsbut no simple lies
Being here after all this timebeing laughed atbeing judgedlike being in bed with a porcupinea thousand pricks against one
All those yearswaiting to be here
All those songs they laughed atignoredand called out of tune
And still they standtheir lives burn so brightthey've long been definedwhat's wrong and what's right
Can't be sensitive
It's been done
What's left to be saidwill be spoken in tongues
