Bread for the Body
From the album Feeling Mortal
[INTRO]
A G x3
A
[VERSE]
I bAuilt my own chains in the lGand of the frAee
A slave to a job that meant nBothing to mEe
With three shAiny new cars and a splGit level hAome
To furnish the tomb I was dGying to Aown
Then Done day I wakened with fear in my eye
AwAare of a world that was passing me bEy
And I knAew that my savings of sGilver and gAold
Would mean not a thing when my bGody was cAold
[CHORUS]
Because lAife is a song for the dDying to sAing
It's got to have feeling to mBean anythEing
And a mAan can get by without sDilver or gAold
With bread for the body and sGong for the sAoul
[INTERLUDE]
A G x3
[VERSE]
I'm lAiving my life by the lGessons I've leAarned
And not looking back at the brBidges I've bEurned
'Cause the tAime that we travel from crGadle to grAave
Was meant to be spent and not meGant to be sAaved
And I knDow there are some who will say I'm a fool
But I dAon't give a damn for the people that dEo
'Cause if dAown in a dungeon is whGere they belAong
Well, that's their misfortune and nGone of my Aown
[CHORUS]
Because lAife is a song for the dDying to sAing
It's got to have feeling to mBean anythEing
And a mAan can get by without sDilver or gAold
With bread for the body and sGong for the sAoul
