Simon Says Songtext

von Sam Shaber

Simon says "Look, I am free, I can have anything I can reach
And God is with me"
Simon says "Look at the greed, there's freedom in poverty
And God is with me"

But how many times can a flag twist around its pole?
How many times will hate burn a hole in the world?

Simon says "Oh can't you see I've worked hard and built my life honestly
And God is with me"
Simon says "Tranquility and heaven come only to men who bleed
And God is with me"

But how many times can a flag twist around its pole?
How many times will hate burn a hole in the world?

Some kind of name for something to blame for our responsibility
Our joy and our pain, our hate and our shame, our changing grip on stability
But we never learn so again and again and again we burn

Simon says "I'll make you see, I'll make you be exactly like me"

And how many times can a flag twist around its pole?
How many times will hate burn a hole?
How many times (how many times)
How many times (how many lives)
How many lives (when Simon Says)
How many lives (hate burn a hole in the world)
How many lives
How many lives
When Simon Says
