Under The Paving Stone Songtext

somewhere was a different kind of time

when children weren't too bored to

lose their lives

for change and loss

and star-crossed love and lies

but who today can find that kind of time?



cuz nothing's still so urgent to inspire

a person to regain that kind of fire



and hey, haven't you heard?

you have the right to make a move

you've everything to gain

and only nothing left to lose

haven't you heard?

you talk to everyone to prove

a leader only leads when no one else knows what to do



I had always thought it was a crime

to still own slaves within such modern times

but who am I to question such a life?

when I still own my own place in the line



and what could make a person wish to fight

when dazzling lights have overwhelmed his sight



and hey, haven't you heard?

you have the right to make a move

you've everything to gain

and only nothing left to lose

haven't you heard?

it's up to everyone to prove

a leader only leads when no one else knows what to do



la la la la la la la la

la la la la la

la la la la la la la la

la la la la la



somewhere there's a different kind of time, -ime

when children weren't too bored to

lose their lives

for change and loss

and star-crossed love and lies

but who today can find that kind of time?



cuz nothing's still so urgent to inspire

a person to reclaim that kind of fire



and hey, haven't you heard?

you have the right to make a move

you've everything to gain

and only [ornament] left to lose

haven't you heard?

it's up to everyone to prove

a leader only leads when no one else knows what to do



ooh ooh

ooh

ooh ooh

ooh ooh...
