Lyrics Bruce Cockburn

Bruce Cockburn

Put Our Hearts Together

Don't need the everlasting trade expansion

Don't need the cold white heroin breath

Don't need Pizzarro or the Inquisition

No berserk worship of a hero's death

Don't need reactionary politicians

Don't need the gunfight at the O.K.

Don't need no Reverend Paisley hate-masturbation

Don't need no Jihad or no IRA

We need to put our hearts together

Set up a rhythm in combination

And if we put our hearts together

We get a rhythm that will shake creation

Who needs supremacy of pink people

There's no such thing as a pure racial strain

It takes all colours to make a rainbow

Takes every part to make a working brain

The whole of history is a growing together

If you want pure, you're gonna have caves again

Anyway who needs a geek like the Grand Dragon

So full of shit his breath makes acid rain

We need to...

Woman-in-kitchen, man-in-palace

Worshipping the performance of the phallus

Gaming for power till their hearts grow callous

As if a human's just an animal with malice

Limp lance, phallocrat, finger on the trigger

God ahead and stay small while everything gets bigger

It's a bully's game and I don't want to play

Why don't you think about the better way

We need to...
