Manifesto Lyrics

    (ferry/manzanera)

    I am for a life around the corner
    That takes you by surprise
    That comes leaves all you need
    And more besides
    I am for a life and time by numbers
    Blast in fast ´n´ low
    Add ´em up, account for luck
    You never know
    I am into friendship and plain sailing
    Through frenzied ports o´ call
    O shake the hand to beat the band
    With love is all
    Or nothing to the man who wants tomorrow
    There´s one in every town
    A crazy guy, he'd rather die
    Than be tied down
    I am for the man who drives the hammer
    To rock you 'til the grave
    His power drill shocks
    A million miles away
    I am for the revolution´s coming
    I don´t know where she´s been
    For those who dare because it´s there
    I know i´ve seen
    Now and then i´ve suffered imperfection
    I´ve studied marble flaws
    And faces drawn pale and worn
    By many tears
    I am that i am from out of nowhere
    To fight without a cause
    Roots strain against the grain
    With brute force you´d better
    Hold out when you´re in doubt
    Question what you see
    And when you find an answer
    Bring it home to me.
