People singing songs of peace
think we're going back to the sixties
youthful musicians tryin to heal the age
people with great hearts erasing pain
there are people in prison turning it around
seein what they did
seeing how they went down
realising that it's only that experience
that would ever get them to this level of strength

I can never be a man
who bears his soul for all to see
the most beautiful thing i ever heard
you cried to make me happy
as a woman things are different
we don't get as much respect
but bear in mind this is a man's world
and take from me all that you can get
see me smiling and then you know
that today i let my tears flow
everything is equal and opposite
equally good and equally shit
and i'l enjoy my shit cos i'm on the way
to something happier today

There are people everywhere
turning into mountains
telling us the futures bright
these people aren't counting
the days before the holiday
the hours before home time
their living life to the fullest
I'm with them

I can never be a man
who bears his soul for all to see
the most beautiful thing i ever heard
you cried to make me happy
as a woman things are different
we don't get as much respect
but bear in mind this is a man's world
and take from me all that you can get
see me smiling and then you know
that today i let my tears flow
everything is equal and opposite
equally good and equally shit
and i'l enjoy my shit cos i'm on the way
to something happier today
