Heartbeats - Sam Brown

I can take you downtown, where everything is brown

But the people there don’t care

'Cos love is all around

You might think it’s ugly, but somebody once told me

Acceptance is harmony

And I feel okay

At least for today

You can breathe the air if you want to

But it leaves a nasty stain on the inside of you

You can eat that food, but you don’t know where it’s been

You can leave this dirty old world that we’re living in

But where will you go and anyway

You only have so many heartbeats

The revolution’s coming, everybody thinks for themselves

There’s a nation humming

A tune that I know well

In the middle of commotion, everybody’s chasing their tails

There’s a single-minded notion

It’s all coming to us

Don’t make such a fuss

You can breathe the air if you wan tot

But it leaves a nasty stain on the inside of you

You can eat that food, but you don’t know where it’s been

You can leave this dirty old world that we’re living in

But where will you go and anyway

You only have so many heartbeats

Only in the morning when I reach for my mask

Only then I wish this breath could be my last

You can breathe the air if you wan tot

But it leaves a nasty stain on the inside of you

You can eat that food, but you don’t know where it’s been

You can leave this dirty old world that we’re living in

But where will you go and anyway

You only have so many heartbeats
