Manifesto Lyrics

(ferry/manzanera)

I am for a life around the corner
That takes you by surprise
That comes leaves all you need
And more besides
I am for a life and time by numbers
Blast in fast ´n´ low
Add ´em up, account for luck
You never know
I am into friendship and plain sailing
Through frenzied ports o´ call
O shake the hand to beat the band
With love is all
Or nothing to the man who wants tomorrow
There´s one in every town
A crazy guy, hed rather die
Than be tied down
I am for the man who drives the hammer
To rock you til the grave
His power drill shocks
A million miles away
I am for the revolution´s coming
I don´t know where she´s been
For those who dare because it´s there
I know i´ve seen
Now and then i´ve suffered imperfection
I´ve studied marble flaws
And faces drawn pale and worn
By many tears
I am that I am from out of nowhere
To fight without a cause
Roots strain against the grain
With brute force you´d better
Hold out when you´re in doubt
Question what you see
And when you find an answer
Bring it home to me.

I am for a life around the corner 
That takes you by surprise 
That comes leaves all you need 
And more besides 
I am for a life and time by numbers 
Blast in fast ´n´ low 
Add ´em up, account for luck 
You never know 
I am into friendship and plain sailing 
Through frenzied ports o´ call 
O shake the hand to beat the band 
With love is all 
Or nothing to the man who wants tomorrow 
There´s one in every town 
A crazy guy, hed rather die 
Than be tied down 
I am for the man who drives the hammer 
To rock you til the grave 
His power drill shocks 
A million miles away 
I am for the revolution´s coming 
I don´t know where she´s been 
For those who dare because it´s there 
I know i´ve seen 
Now and then i´ve suffered imperfection 
I´ve studied marble flaws 
And faces drawn pale and worn 
By many tears 
I am that I am from out of nowhere 
To fight without a cause 
Roots strain against the grain 
With brute force you´d better 
Hold out when you´re in doubt 
Question what you see 
And when you find an answer 
Bring it home to me.
