Magnum - Twelve Men Wise And Just lyrics

We all get carried away And that's just living Most of us going nowhere Nothing to say It takes a long time To get where you're wanting to be It takes a long time Before you can see Maybe tomorrow You're tempting fate when you say There'll be no sorrow Might be the same as today Politicians take the floor Fool the people just once more Promising everything just like before So when the fortune teller said That all the cards had been misread And that they gave you up for dead for sure You said you'd never compromise But as you looked into her eyes This really made you realise the cure Stand in the middle to see That's not a good thing Someone keeps blocking your view Losing your key It takes a long time So don't get too dissatisfied It takes a long time But it's justified You couldn't swallow Living your life on the run How could you follow? Knowing you might come undone You weren't born to thrill the crowds Be a martyr, shout out loud Make sure your head don't get stuck in the clouds So when the fortune teller said That all the cards had been misread And that they gave you up for dead for sure You said you'd never compromise But as you looked into her eyes This really made you realise the cure You can't speak Don't feel whole Just too weak Heart's grown cold Now you've decided Which way that you're gonna go Might be misguided Crazy for all we might know No one there to break the trust Not a wind to blow the dust Stand up the twelve men who speak wise and just So when the fortune teller said That all the cards had been misread And that they gave you up for dead for sure You said you'd never compromise But as you looked into her eyes This really made you realise the cure You said you'd never compromise But as you looked into her eyes This really made you realise the cure
