| Janis Ian breaking silence What about the love I went to see my sister She was staying with a friend who had turned into a preacher to save the world from sin He said - First deny your body Then learn to submit Pray to be made worthy, and tithe your ten percent. I said - Is this all there is? just the letter of the law? Something's wrong I went to see my brother on the thirty-second floor of a building down on Wall Street Your could hear the futures roar He said - Here we make decisions and we trade commodities so if you tell me where there's famine, I can make you guarantees. I said - Is this all there is? power to the strong? Something's wrong Something's wrong in heaven tonight' You can almost hear them cry Angels to the left and the right saying - What about the love? What about the love? What about the love? I went to see my neighbor He'd been taken to a home for the weak an the discarded who have no place to go He said - Here I lack for nothing I am fed and I am clothed but at times I miss the freedom I used to know... I said - Is this all there is? when your usefullness is gone? Something's wrong chorus I looked into the mirror Proud as I could be and I saw my pointing finger pointing back at me saying - Who named you accuser? Who gave you the scales? I hung my head in sorrow I could almost feel the nails I said - this is how it is to be crucified and judged without love chorus |
