Lyrics for Song: In The Hearts Of Men
Lyrics for Album: The Lion's Roar [2012]
In the hearts of men, in the arms of mothers
In the parts we play to convince others
We know what we're doing, we're doing it right
We bring books on the subject, but then you may still be surprised
By your tone over the phone, to your sister while waiting in line
At the shopping mall just outside of town
Oh-hoo, oh-hoo, oh-hoo... Oooh
In the hands of teachers, in the books you read
The things you say when we've lost the lead
I still try to speak up, when my voice won't make a sound
And I thought it all over too many times
When there is no use, and the lights are all out
I just give it up, and I walk home
Past the shopping mall that's just closing... Down
Oh-hoo, laa-da-da-da
Oh-hoo, laa-da-da-da
Oh-hoo... Oooh
Oh-hoo, laa-da-da-da
Oh-hoo, laa-da-da-da
Oh-hoo... Oooh
We tell yourself you all must be what you be
We still say who is who and what is what if you simply don't agree, now
Time will come to claim you, and it will have its way
Don't make no mistakes and don't regret
Don't waste the time that is left
And then do it all... (With a goddamn smile)
Laa-la-la, laa-la-la
Laa-la-la, laa-la-la
Laa-la-la...
Laa-ah-aah...
In the hearts of men, in the arms of mothers
In the parts we play to convince others
