lyrics

New Tomorrow

You and I, we go for a walk but we don’t bring no rosey shades
In this heat you can’t help but meet all the scenes from the big parade
To the left or look to your right, there are so many tears trying hard not to fight
Like the child on the street, dirty hands, unshod feet, well he looks to the ground ain’t no food to be found

I heard some talk about a new tomorrow
Whatever we got we’ve had to steal or borrow
Oh why tell me why
Well I don’t wanna live but I don’t wanna die

See the girl as she slinks in a room in a place where the wealthy they go
She can’t be more than nine or ten but she’s worth more than her weight in gold
In her eyes fear mixed with despise at a life that was sold into chains
To a flesh merchant man tries to meet the demand of the aging who deny the shame

I heard some talk about a new tomorrow
Whatever we got we’ve had to steal or borrow
Oh why tell me why
Well I don’t wanna live but I don’t wanna die

See the sweat as it pours down their back as they slave for a nickel or dime
Mommy is pregnant and Daddy don‘t work so for playing they haven’t got time
Bleak house stares they’re all lost in despair ‘cos there’s never enough to go ‘round
And if they cry it’s never in sight ‘ cos another can always be found

I heard some talk about a new tomorrow
Whatever we got we’ve had to steal or borrow
Oh why tell me why
Well I don’t wanna live but I don’t wanna die

City lights well they block out the sights where the hungry are always to blame,
Values go down it’s the wrong side of town and respect is then lost in the pain
Round any corner without any warning the victims now thieves shooting holes on their sleeves
Well they look to the sky and they dream of a life but they know it’s a lie so they try not to try

I heard some talk about a new tomorrow
Whatever we got we’ve got to steal or borrow
Oh why tell me why
Well I don’t wanna live but I don’t wanna die

You and I, we go for a walk but we don’t bring no rosey shades

New Tomorrow………..New Tomorrow……….

about

the balconvillains Montreal, Québec

Pan-genre…Omni-groove…
Not young…Not pretty…

Craft honed across two millennia, not the undead, the experienced.

The progeny of Montreal and the Age of Aquarius, chameleon transients in time and space, consumed and were consumed, frivolous, rhythmic, the voice of the common in the complexity of the mundane. ... more
