Artist: Cher Album: Not.com.mercial (2000) Title: (The Fall) Kurt's Blues
Lyrics (The Fall) Kurt's BluesNever even knew you But I heard your note today You talk about injustice And how we look the other way
I knew full well your meaning But my world just moves too fast It's a shame about your future It's a crime about your past
Was there no one who could save you From the prison of each breath Like Rapunzel in her tower Isolation equals death
Was there no one who could rescue you From the prison of your pain Am I tougher or just lucky Our fate didn't end the same
But my heart has run on empty Since I heard the fuckin' news We're a heartless, godless culture We'd walk nowhere in your shoes
For me it's six-thirty in the morning And my mood's as black as rain I am thirty light years older But I understand your pain
They all hate you 'cause you left them here To struggle on their own I'm just sorry you had no choice 'Til death chilled you to the bone
But my heart has run on empty Since I heard the fuckin' news We're a heartless, godless culture We'd walk nowhere in your shoes
Well the good news, if there's any Is you ever lived at all But our country kills its heroes We just raise them for the fall
Raise them for the fall Oh we raise them for the fall For the fall, oh we raise them for the fall Raise them for the fall |
