Five Years
Ton : GEnglish
GPushing through the market squareEm, so many mothers sighing
ANews had just come over, we hadC five years left to cry in
GNews guy wept and told usEm, earth was really dying
ACried so much his face was wet, and IC knew he was not lying
I heardG telephones, opera house, favorite melodies
I sawEm boys, toys, electric irons and TV's
My Abrain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
I had to Ccram so many things to store everything in there
And all the fat-skinnyAm people,C and all the tall-shortAm people
CAnd all the nobodyG people,C and all the somebodyD
I never thought I'd need so many peoAmple C
GA girl my age went off her headEm, hit some tiny children
AIf the black hadn't a pulled her off, CI think she would have killed them
GA soldier with a broken armEm, his fixed stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
AA cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest, and aC queer threw up at the sight of that
GI think I saw you in an ice cream parlorEm, drinking milk shakes cold and long
ASmiling and waving and looking so fine,C don't think you knew you were in this song
GAnd it was cold, and it rained, so I felt like an actor
And EmI thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there
Your Aface, your race, the way that you talk
CI kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk
We gotG five years, stuck on my eyes -Em Five years, what a suprise
We gotA five years, my brain hurts alot -C Five years, that's all we got
We gotG five years...
