All That Way for This Lyrics & Tabs by Oysterband
All That Way for This
guitar chords lyrics
What we wanted was chain lightning
What we wanted was eight miles high
What we wanted was free fall and our turn to fly
What we wanted was more fireworks
Everlasting Fourth of July
What we wanted was more stars in a bluer sky
CHORUS
All we wanted was something worth it
Worth the labour, worth the wait
Then they take you up to the mountain
And you see too late
In the middle of a good time
Truth gave me her icy kiss
Look around, you must be joking
All that way, all that way for this
Truth gave me her icy kiss
Look around, you must be joking
All that way, all that way for this
What we wanted was consolation
The hand of strangers, help for pain
What we wanted was to be sure
No friends were lost in vain
What we wanted was aggravation
A good cause, a bigger row
What we wanted was the whole plantation
Now, now, now
CHORUS
What we wanted was rhyme and reason
What we wanted was another way
What we get is a tinpot heaven
And we're too drunk to pray
What we get is the old machinery
Grinding on in the same old way
What we need is the sweet republic
Roll on Independence Day
In the middle of a good time
Truth gave me her icy kiss
Look around, you must be joking
All that way, all that way for this
(repeats once)
All that way, all that way for this
All that way, all that way for this
All that way, we come all that way for this
