Lyrics
Stripped to the Bone
Words & music © Lars Thornblad 2010
The sun may burn on a man and a woman
Black as the night in the yellow grass they lie
The sun may burn on a man and a woman
Making plans - they love to let the time fly - they love to let the time fly
Cool wind may blow on the kids by the river
Their little faces turning to the sky
Cool wind may blow on the kids by the river
The river in an African village
Stripped to the bone and the budget is tight
But the world is our home and to live is your right
From the top of my head Im just telling you why
Its only God who s got the right to live and let die - To live and let die
The fish you catch in the river Mitemele
They spend their childhood swimming in our toxic waste
The fish you catch in Rio Mitemele
They carry traces enough to make a child cry - I hate it when a child cries
We know the word is to treat the world better
But whos to blame we´re just born with an expensive taste
We know the word is to treat the world better
Stripped to the bone and the budget is tight
But the world is our home and to live is your right
From the top of my head Im just telling you why
Its only God who s got the right to live and let die - To live and let die
We all gotta live in this fragment of time The moment we´re here is yours and it´s mine
We should cherish the earth - The scene of the crime could be the cradle of love
Stripped to the bone and the budget is tight
But the world is our home and to live is your right
From the top of my head Im just telling you why
Its only God who s got the right to live and let die - To live and let die
Do
Do
