It's not a matter of life or a matter of living It's not a matter of d**h or who's doing the k**ing It's not the blame of a wish that would never come true It's not you hating me, or me loving you It's not history repeating or a present day prophet We're just wrapped round a tree like aprom, night gone tragic And it wants, and it needs And it lives, and it breathes And it needs to be among us Well, how do you deal with the theft of a nation Or the people who live there and the graves they've been digging? So make love to you as you lay down beside her
And it wants, and it needs And it lives, and it breathes And it needs to be among us Well, sadness it is, just in case you were wonderin' So don't bother asking for fear of me answering Just tuck in your kids kiss them and hug them And believe in a god if you think that it's worth it And it wants, and it needs And it lives, and it breathes And it needs to be among us And it wants, and it needs And it lives, and it breathes And it needs to be among us It will always be among us There's a sadness that's among us
