Five Years
Ton : GEnglish
Couplet
GPushing through the market square, Emso many mothers sighing
ANews had just come over, we had Cfive years left to cry in
GNews guy wept and told us, Emearth was really dying
ACried so much his face was wet, and I Cknew he was not lying
Couplet
I heard Gtelephones, opera house, favorite melodies
I saw Emboys, 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-skinny Ampeople, Cand all the tall-short Ampeople
CAnd all the nobody Gpeople, Cand all the somebody D
I never thought I'd need so many Ampeople C
Couplet
GA girl my age went off her head, Emhit some tiny children
AIf the black hadn't a pulled her off, CI think she would have killed them
GA soldier with a broken arm, Emhis fixed stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
AA cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest, and a Cqueer threw up at the sight of that
GI think I saw you in an ice cream parlor, Emdrinking milk shakes cold and long
ASmiling and waving and looking so fine, Cdon't think you knew you were in this song
Couplet
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
Refrain
We got Gfive years, stuck on my eyes - EmFive years, what a surprise
We got Afive years, my brain hurts a lot - CFive years, that's all we got
We got Gfive years...
