I. L. E. JONES

Lyrics

There was a time it was commonly heard
That a man is only as good as his word
And be sure what you say & do
Because you know one day it all might come right back on you.
I see your face and I see your smile
You say the race is almost over, just one more mile.
You're asking me to stand by you
And make you the leader of the red white & blue.
I'm not the only one who's looking for more
Than a bunch of empty promises and another war.
WHEN IT ALL SAID & DONE will you have done what you said
And the dream that you promised was it all in your head.
In all the papers and all over tv
You say you've got the answers how it ought to be
Telling me that you're the one
And the best of times are yet to come.
It doesn't take a genius to be able to tell
That the way things are going they're going straight to hell.
WHEN IT ALL SAID & DONE will you have done what you said
And the dream that you promised was it all in your head.
Have you given more than taken with the power in your hands
Or given more than taken, because you don't really give a damn.
WHEN IT ALL SAID & DONE will you have done what you said
And the dream that you promised was it all in your head.
