lyrics

FOR THE FEW WHO COULDN'T BE FRIENDS
(February 2, 1979)

As life becomes more complicated... Reception disappears
We fail to see what we've created when the picture seemed so clear
We've traded words... We've all debated
Will tomorrow find us here?

I don't know if we can make it
Oh, The Times forecast the end
We must stand like men and take it
For the Few Who Couldn't Be Friends.

The players lend a deafened ear to an ever-growing need
A way up high, they laugh, they cheer on a stage they built from greed
They turn away their blinded eye
They reap but never seed.

I don't know if we can make it
Oh, The Times forecast the end
We must stand like men and take it
For the Few Who Couldn't Be Friends.

It's time to leave the womb… Mother Earth
It's time to be reborn… The Children of the Universe
To sail our ships and roam the farthest catacombs
To find a place in deepest space where we can live alone.

We hide our heads beneath the covers frightened by the view
The Wise Men say "Do unto others as you would have them do."
Ah, but some of us search all our lives
For others to undo.

No, I don't know if we can make it
Oh, The Times have forecast the end
We must stand like men and take it
We must make our peace and break it… Again
For the Few Who Couldn't Be Friends.
