Graves Lyrics

Life is good to the healthy rich man

Life wicked to the sick poor man

But they both have life

Life ain't clear to me my friend

A child is born today and the world rejoices

And tomorrow another dies

When you feel like laughing

But all you find is tears

Cos even laughter doesn't make any sense

If you've not cried before

And you've walked a million miles in the world

And you achieved a million things

But then one day the graves calls out your name

Then you'll know

That life takes more than it gives

And the graves takes your loved ones from you

That life takes more than it gives

And the graves takes your loved ones from you

So don't listen to the graves

(Don't listen to the graves)

Don't listen to the graves

(Don't listen to the graves)

Don't listen to the graves

(Don't listen to the graves)

Never listen to the graves

(Don't listen to the graves)

The graves don't take from you to give you back

It looks so quiet but it makes the deadliest noise

Then it looks so empty it contains the greatest men

And the sound of silence the black bird always hear

So don't listen to the graves

(Don't listen to the graves)

Don't listen to the graves

(Don't listen to the graves)

Don't listen to the grave of depression

Never listen to the grave of sin

Emancipate yourselves my people

There's no existing talent

That you can't find in the graves

There's no personality

That you can't find in the graves

So there's no need

To make others feel like nothing
