It's not a matter of life or a matter of living
It's not a matter of d**h or who's doing the k**ing
It's not the blame of a wish that would never come true
It's not you hating me, or me loving you
It's not history repeating or a present day prophet
We're just wrapped round a tree like aprom, night gone tragic
And it wants, and it needs
And it lives, and it breathes
And it needs to be among us
Well, how do you deal with the theft of a nation
Or the people who live there and the graves they've been digging?
So make love to you as you lay down beside her
And it wants, and it needs
And it lives, and it breathes
And it needs to be among us
Well, sadness it is, just in case you were wonderin'
So don't bother asking for fear of me answering
Just tuck in your kids kiss them and hug them
And believe in a god if you think that it's worth it
And it wants, and it needs
And it lives, and it breathes
And it needs to be among us
And it wants, and it needs
And it lives, and it breathes
And it needs to be among us
It will always be among us
There's a sadness that's among us
