I heard a funny thing today What a way The little things that people say Maybe you've heard this one before Well I'm sure You've probably heard this once or more Well I was sat inside a taxi ride just chatting as you do Driver he turns around to me Fancy free And tells the one about the black man and the tree One to another such a harmless joke Just sticks and stones
One to another now We got a line to draw In the everyday war I never asked so what's he telling me for Oh I feel like it's best to ignore Just want to look at the floor
Who's that knocking at the door? This is Paul He's been redundant since they He saw a different colour skin Replace him While getting paid much less and all And now he hates them all he's Poison minded No punchline No laughter here at all [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/s/sonic_boom_six/i_wish_i_could_smile.html ] One to another now We got a line to draw In the everyday war I never asked so what's he telling me for Oh I feel like it's best to ignore Just want to look at the floor
Now we got a line to draw In this everyday war He's telling me I guess he's told it once before Am I content with turning the cheek Or do I stand up and speak?
One to another It's just sticks and stones Just break my bones
One to another now We got a line to draw In the everyday war I never asked so what's he telling me for Oh I feel like it's best to ignore Just want to look at the floor
Now we got a line to draw In this everyday war He's telling me I guess he's told it once before Am I content with turning the cheek Or do I stand up and speak?
If we're gonna sit endure Then we're making it more We're in the problem if we won't be like a cure Until these attitudes are no more Well everyday there is war Me say war
How I wish I could smile Let it go once a while Give an inch take a mile And he'll be telling it again
