I Finally Understand

I FINALLY UNDERSTAND (
c) Salem Jones

Prelude
It’s winter slow and cold
Hearts so young fight souls so old
Dancing to an... emotional strobe
But life is still wide open
On every road
What colour is your love?
How many gods are really up and above?
And what are they made of?
We’ll see now that Satan’s slingin’ his mud

Too many songs of war
From the kings of paupers, pennies and whores
It dries my laughter red and sore
Like water on a killin’ floor

Prechorus
We’ve gotta start up somethin’ new, start up somethin’ new

CHORUS
I THINK I FINALLY UNDERSTAND
AND I’M JUST ONE WOMAN
I THINK I’VE FINALLY GOT A HANDLE ON WHAT THEY’RE TRYIN’ TO DO
I THINK i FINALLY UNDERSTAND
SO GIMME ONE MORE THAN A MAN AND WOMAN
2 AND 1 SAYIN’ GIMME SOME
NOW WE’VE GOT A CROWD
AND NOW WE’RE GETTIN’ LOUD

Conflicting dreams and clashing egos
How do we live?
Crashing eagles with muted screams
What do we do about what we did?

Pumpin’ outa hearts of steel and grime
Is dirty oil and dirty wine
Friend the bitter end of time
Sweeten it and it'll taste fine

Prechorus
Let’s start up somethin’ new, start up somethin’ new

CHORUS AS ABOVE

BRIDGE
Spoken: DO YOU FEEL LIKE RUNNIN?
MAN WE ALL DO.
BUT IF WE STAND TOGETHER, SHOULDER TO SHOULDER & TURN AROUND TO FACE IT, IT CANNONT SURVIVE.
IT WILL NOT WIN. NO NO NO...
RUN RUN WE ALL- FEEL.

LET’S START UP SOMETHING NEW

CHORUS AS ABOVE
