G
Pushing through the market square
Em
So many mothers sighing (sighing)
A
News had just come over
C
We had five years left to cry in (cry in)
G
News guy wept and told us
Em
Earth was really dying (dying)
A
Cried so much his face was wet
C
Then I knew he was not lying (lying)
G
I heard telephones, opera house, favorite melodies
Em
I saw boys, toys, electric irons and TV's
A
My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
C
I had to cram so many things to store everything in there
A C
And all the fat, skinny people
A C
And all the tall, short people
G C
And all the nobody people
D
And all the somebody people
Am
I never thought I'd need so many people
A girl my age went off her head
Hit some tiny children
If the Black hadn't have pulled her off
I think she would have killed them
A soldier with a broken arm
Fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest
And a queer threw up at the sight of that
I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlor
Drinking milk shakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine
Don't think you knew you were in this song
And it was cold and it rained, so I felt like an actor
And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there
Your face, your race, the way that you talk
I kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that's all we've got
We've got five years, what a surprise
Five years, stuck on my eyes
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that's all we've got
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that's all we've got
We've got five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that's all we've got
Five years
Five years
Five years
