lyrics

It's easy for you to judge me
I can see the reasons why
You've painted me a criminal
In your mind

It's hard to see that we were
Equal once upon a time
'Cos your feet won't let me raise my head
Above the ground

Who am I living for?
I don't deserve this
I don't deserve this anymore

Who am I fighting for?
I don't believe in this
I don't believe in this colour war

I do all I can to understand
But pressing rewind take its toll
More than you will ever know
Or care

Every time you burn my kingdom down it makes it hard for me to recognise myself
Every time you tell me that I have a place up in the sky it only makes me cry myself to sleep at night

Who am I living for?
I don't deserve this
I don't deserve this anymore

Who am I fighting for?
I don't believe in this
I don't believe in this colour war

Who am I living for?
I don't deserve this
I don't deserve this anymore

Who am I fighting for?
I don't believe in this
I don't believe in this colour war

Seven musicians. Confident, expressive, often enough just beautiful horns. Still the rhythm group is my favorite section. They really crack their whips. freejazzy
