Lyrics Jimmy Somerville

Jimmy Somerville

And You Never Thought That This Could Happen To You

Lately I've been thinking

'Bout my situation

Building walls around me

With their legislation

If you only could see

All the lies you've believed

The wrong that needs undoing

There's a power we command

If united we stand

Fighting for your rights

And you never thought that it could happen to you

I believe the basic thing in life

Should be free

Health and education

Have priority

And they're selling to us

What we already own

All we take for granted

There are lessons to learn

But the tide could turn

So it's down to you

And you never thought that it could happen to you

Hold on

Everything's gonna be alright.

If you only could see

All the lies you've believe

The wrong that needs undoing

There's a power we command

If united we stand

Fighting for our rights.
