lyrics

A penny for your thoughts
A penny for your soul
A penny for your song if you're playing Rock n' Roll
Well that don't sound like life to me

We Starve for their talk
We starve for their glances
We starve for their cheap Hollywood romances
Well that's don't sound like living free

But if it's not too much, count me out
Because I fear our skies are falling down

I've got more scars than you could ever care to know about
If you let me in I'll gladly let you down
But this world didn't name me
Can't define me and won't tame me
So if there's breath in my lungs it's love I'll sing about

I got on a plane, a big metal bird
And it took me halfway around the world
Just to stick my fingers in the African dirt

All I found were people like me
With a lot less cash and a lot more free
They breathe in life when they watch their children eat

But if it's not true love, then count me out
Because I fear our hearts are gonna drown

I've got more scars than you could ever care to know about
If you let me in I'll gladly let you down
But this world didn't name me
Can't define me and won't tame me
So if there's breath in my lungs it's love I'll sing about

You can have all your politics
You can have all your dirty tricks
You can have your war machines
Without love it won't mean a thing

You can have your rock n' roll
You can have your rhythm and soul
You can have your get-rich schemes
Without love it don't mean a thing

It's love love love love I'll sing about

I've got more scars than you could ever care to know about
If you let me in I'll gladly let you down
But this world didn't name me
Can't define me and won't tame me
So if there's breath in my lungs it's love I'll sing about
