Lyrics

Leave Somebody Alone

Nowhere to hide.
The bully boys were runnin' right behind.
I pedaled so hard.
Innocence was gone
in that sweaty moment of time.
The fear, it was only mine.
(Sometimes I wish they'd caught me)

Hey, unless you're gonna lift them up,
just leave somebody alone.
Life is hard enough.
Compassion will atone.

Class war
Race war
Robbers at the chain store
Money or the lack
mean an open or closed-door...
(or even having a door at all)
Addiction
Eviction
Division is the mission
Leaders war-in and whore-in'
Empathy is foreign
Phones ruinin' posture
Truth is a monster

Wouldn't it be better
that we should come together
like rain on lake water,
or stars in the sky?
It's just a power play
to hold your brother at bay.
It's a not a zero sum game, this life..So

HEY! unless you're gonna lift them up,
just leave somebody alone!
HEY!, unless you're gonna show some love,
just leave somebody alone!
HEY!, unless you're gonna lift them up,
just leave somebody alone
I SAY, unless you're gonna show-your-love-,
just-leave-somebody alooooooooooone....
Life is hard enough
Compassion will atone
