Labi Siffre - Lovers

There've been better times
There've been worse
Almost heaven
Sometimes hell on earth
Humans love to think
Hate to agree
So the world is a playground for the military
And you and I to history
Yeah we are so small
And in the Universe
Do we matter at all?
I believe we are the best
We are the height by which to measure the rest

We are lovers
The truth is alive and well with us
The future relies on those who are wise
And brave enough to trust
To give it all
So find the words
We are lovers

A baby's born today
Gun in hand
Do we wear red, hell no
We sell them the ammo
Hey we need the cash
Jobs yes indeed
But they're shooting our children
This money bleeds
We're not goody goodies
We're not bleeding hearts
We are lovers

Enough to trust
To give it all
So find the words
Ooh in a world of ideas
Love is better than others
We are lovers
Those of us wise enough

Enough to trust to give it all
So find the words
We are lovers (we are lovers)
We are lovers, lovers
We are lovers (we are lovers)
We are lovers, lovers
We are lovers
We are the height by which to measure the rest
Lovers
