Big World Away

(album: Karma - 2009)

Pablo can't relate to Lucile
He's making it into such a big deal
But she can't give him what he needs
So they're staring across the deep blue sea
Peter's preaching up his storm
Can't get a heaven if you can't find the door
Bernie sold you out to wall street
Pulled the rug right from under your feet

Big word away
So far away
I can see your face
But I can't hear what you say
We're not the same
But can we change
We're like night and day
One big world away

Keep looking round I just don't get it
Live and let live best just forget it
The rich get richer but the poor get poor
Better grab something on the way out the door
From north to south and east to west
Everyone's screaming their way's best
You hear yes when a say no
I know the whole damn world is ready to blow

Big word away
So far away
I can see your face
But I can't hear what you say
We're not the same
But can we change
We're like night and day
One big world away

Everybody's running
Running after something
Nobody will ever find
What will fill the holes
Of all the empty souls left crying

Ghandi starved his way to peace
Met a bullet, fell to his knees
John said "all you need is love"
But look around you is anyone
Giving enough

Big word away
So far away
I can see your face
But I can't hear what you say
We're not the same
But can we change
We're like night and day
One big world away
