lyrics

The last time I saw you
the mania had long since died
but all of the Beatles were still alive
sometimes a good song finds a way to hold on
where all of the worst people find a way to hold sway
when you live here it's okay to be afraid

In a few years your child would be delivered
into those dutiful arms
one more baby on another 12-hour day
she worked her whole life to save
and her dutiful heart in a few years time
would deliver young men who wished it was just a dream
they were waiting but no one could tell them when
no one could tell them why

When you live here it's okay to be afraid
where all of the worst people find a way to hold sway
but sometimes a good song finds a way to hold on
your healthy child grew up and on an easy path he learned to stand
so she'd sing for the young men with nowhere to go
and nobody gave a damn
they were waiting but no one could tell them when
no one could tell them why
