Take Our Sorrows Swimming

Businessmen lose millions, no one asks where did it go. Soldiers become heroes shooting people they don't know. Innocence is tossed away without a ray of hope And corporations poison us, but only criminals smoke dope. Ah, don't expect too much from me. Ah, the only help I can be is Take our sorrows swimming Charity is for the living When you feel all hope is dimming We can take our sorrows for a swim Instead of drowning them. We're wading in the swampwater of superstitious times. It seems the darker you portray yourself The brighter you will shine. Politicians ask us to give credence to their lies And churches claim your soul But only criminals get high. Ah, don't expect too much from me. Ah, the only help I can be is Take our sorrows swimming Charity is for the living When you feel all hope is dimming
