I’ve Thought About It Ralph McTell

I've thought about it
I really have tried
And the answer quite simply
Is that they tell lies
And they’ve got the power
And what they decide
Affects your life and my life
And everybody's life besides

And I've thought about it
Till my brain says "no more"
I’ve justified their actions
And I've criticized their wars
And I've watched them balance
On the edge of the knife
And it's your life and my life
And none of our lives are safe

From lack of food
Thousands have died
While farmers burn crops
Just to keep prices high
And from that kind of logic
There's no place to hide!
That could be your life or my life
Or anybody's life next time
