They Took a Vote and said no - Sunset Rubdown, Spencer Krug

He’s just a kid,

He wants a ride

They took his ears,

They took his eyes,

They said a ride

Is never free,

He couldn’t hear

He couldn’t see

Well, there are things

That have to die

So other things

Can stay alive

The fire burns,

It burns to give,

It has to burn, alive,

To live

The other men spoke low,

They took a vote and said no

They turned around real slow

Where did they go?

Where did they go?

Is the question of the question

Can the kids shoot their sides?

If the fire hasn’t died, say no

Say no

Say, «You don’t know what king we serve, boy

You don’t know what things we employ»

The other men spoke low,

They took a vote and said no

They turned around real slow

Where did they go?

Where did they go?

Is the question of the question

Can the kid keep his eyes?

If the fire doesn’t die

Can the kid keep his eyes?

On the question of the question

Can the kid keep his eyes?

If the fire doesn’t die

I said be careful

Of what you wish for

Oh, be careful

Of what you wish for

And be careful

Around the fire-light

And be careful

Around the bright, bright, light

'Cause the fire never dies

So the kid hurts his eyes

Oh, that’s how it goes, baby

That’s how it goes, baby

That’s how it goes, baby

That’s how it goes
