Ego Embryo
V1:
The heart in my heart
does not know where to go
I am afraid to use it
when I grow old
and I was told
if I used my heart
then I would be ‘sold’
what does that mean?
Does it mean I’m for sale?
Does it mean all my dreams will fail?
C:
It’s not so, Joe,
It’s just a part of life.
We ain’t no angels, babe,
but we have something angels don’t.
V2:
A dream deferred, or a dream denied?
They know it’s all part of the plan
Whether he stays or goes
Whether Joe’s come or goin’
She knows the money’s gone cold
What will she do when the green’s turned to mold?
C:
It’s not so, Joe,
It’s just a part of life.
We ain’t no angels, babe,
but we have something angels don’t.
B:
Carrying this burden on our back
I ain’t in the mood
Tired of playing it small
Tired of pretending to be cool
I need help
and so do you
so get off your front step
and stop pretending to be cool
everybody hurts
and everybody doubts
but the best things in life
is the shit we can’t live without
(and what’s that, huh?)
C:
It’s not so, Joe,
It’s just a part of life.
We ain’t no angels, babe,
but we have something angels don’t.
