Indigo Girls - All Along The Watchtower lyrics

"There must be some kinda way out of here" Oh, said the joker to the thief I want to tell you now there's just too much confusion And I can't, no, I can't get no relief Ah, these businessmen, they all, they drink our wine And the plowman, well, he dig my earth And you know that ah none of them along the line Can show me what any of this is worth You know we wanted to see it now, didn't we? Didn't we? "There ain't no reason to get excited" Ah, the thief, you know he kindly spoke Well, now there are those among us right here, right now Who still see life as some kind of a joke But you and I, we have been through that I tell you that this, this is not our fate, no no no Now, let us all not talk falsely now You know the hour, well, it's getting late I said all along the watchtower, the princes, they kept the view While the women, the women, they came and then they went Oh, and the barefoot servants too, that's me, that's you But outside there's a cold distance Listen for the wildcats, here them growl Two riders were approaching as the wind began to howl Oh, there are those among us right here, right now Who still see life as some kind of a joke All along the watchtower, said, all along this watchtower Those of you who still have eyes to see, ears hear me You will be saved by grace in the end Saved by time if you don't understand That your hatred is rooted in your fear And your paranoia and insecurities Well, they don't belong here You got to take someones hand You got to learn to make your stand And it's a one, two, three, four Look at the sky, you can open the door And take my hand, take my hand, take my hand Ah, don't you want to touch Don't you want to feel Don't you know that this is real I said shelter me, shelter me Shelter me, shelter me And save yourself, save yourself Save, save, save Save, save, save Save, save, save Save, save And you, and you And you are a part of the world You, you, you are a part of the world You gotta learn to touch, to feel You know that you are real I said, learn learn You are a part of the world
