Twelve Men Wise and Just - Magnum

We all get carried away

And that’s just living

Most of us going nowhere

Nothing to say

It takes a long time

To get where you’re wanting to be

It takes a long time

Before you can see

Maybe tomorrow

You’re tempting fate when you say

There’ll be no sorrow

Might be the same as today

Politicians take the floor

Fool the people just once more

Promising everything just like before

So when the fortune teller said

That all the cards had been misread

And that they gave you up for dead for sure

You said you’d never compromise

But as you looked into her eyes

This really made you realize the cure

Stand in the middle to see

That’s not a good thing

Someone keeps blocking your view

Losing your key

It takes a long time

So don’t get too dissatisfied

It takes a long time

But it’s justified

You couldn’t swallow

Living your life on the run

How could you follow?

Knowing you might come undone

You weren’t born to thrill the crowds

Be a martyr, shout out loud

Make sure your head don’t get stuck in the clouds

So when the fortune teller said

That all the cards had been misread

And that they gave you up for dead for sure

You said you’d never compromise

But as you looked into her eyes

This really made you realize the cure

You can’t speak

Don’t feel whole

Just too weak

Heart’s grown cold

Now you’ve decided

Which way that you’re gonna go

Might be misguided

Crazy for all we might know

No one there to break the trust

Not a wind to blow the dust

Stand up the twelve men who speak wise and just

So when the fortune teller said

That all the cards had been misread

And that they gave you up for dead for sure

You said you’d never compromise

But as you looked into her eyes

This really made you realize the cure

You said you’d never compromise

But as you looked into her eyes

This really made you realize the cure
