[ti:I've Thought About It] [ar:Ralph McTell] [al:My Side Of Your Window] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]I've Thought About It - Ralph McTell [00:08.52]I've thought about it [00:10.08] [00:11.58]I really have tried [00:13.33] [00:15.22]And the answer quite simply [00:16.97] [00:18.65]Is that they tell lies [00:20.32] [00:22.35]And they've got the power [00:23.93] [00:24.75]And what they decide [00:25.88] [00:27.87]Affects your life and my life [00:30.33] [00:30.91]And everybody's life besides [00:33.96] [00:41.57]And I've thought about it [00:43.32] [00:44.43]Till my brain says "no more" [00:46.65] [00:48.13]I've justified their actions [00:50.02] [00:51.50]And I've criticised their wars [00:53.85] [00:55.08]And I've watched them balance [00:58.00]On the edge of the knife [00:59.54] [01:00.95]And it's your life and my life [01:03.75]And none of our lives are safe [01:06.52] [01:14.83]From lack of food [01:16.05] [01:19.47]Thousands have died [01:20.76] [01:22.77]While farmers burn crops [01:24.24] [01:25.93]Just to keep prices high [01:27.79] [01:29.34]And from that kind of logic [01:31.45] [01:32.15]There's no place to hide [01:33.52] [01:35.13]That could be your life or my life [01:37.49] [01:38.00]Or anybody's life next time [01:41.22] [01:48.74]For the sword of justice [01:50.47] [01:52.09]They can find an excuse [01:53.78] [01:55.94]But her scales have gone rusty [01:57.67] [01:59.38]From not being used [02:01.27] [02:02.65]And no blindfold can hide [02:04.90] [02:05.65]The tears in her eyes [02:07.27] [02:08.79]For your life my life and everybody's life besides [02:14.91] [02:22.17]And if Jesus came back [02:23.81] [02:28.48]To lead us again [02:29.74] [02:32.05]They'd make sure that he met [02:33.77] [02:38.13]The very same end [02:39.59] [02:41.11]Though their names have been changed [02:43.14] [02:43.77]They survive to this day [02:45.46] [02:46.67]They'll take your life or my life [02:49.57]Or anybody's life in their way [02:52.82] [03:00.36]And my guitar protects me [03:02.82] [03:04.00]But that's not really true [03:05.66] [03:07.65]If you took it away [03:09.46] [03:10.94]I'd be just the same as you [03:13.21] [03:14.66]And though songs never change things [03:17.13]But they help you decide [03:18.57] [03:20.50]To change your life my life [03:22.90] [03:23.43]And everybody's life besides [03:25.91] [03:35.12]And they talk about a revolution [03:36.86] [03:39.33]And they talk about a revolution [03:40.82] [03:43.08]Talk about a revolution [03:44.13] [03:44.78]Talk about a revolution [03:45.63] [03:47.77]Talk about Talk about Talk about [03:49.90]Talk about
