The Only Road Lyrics - Singles - Andy Summers

The world was given by his hold grace 

the hand of god must touch upon that place 

we can't allow that kind of primitive 

show them the book and teach them how to live 

Their words were strange we didn't understand 

two men in black who had a holy man 

they said that we must hear their sacred verse 

we didn't know if we were blessed or cursed 

They said they'd come - they would build a road 

we'll burn your trees down we'll give you clothes 

teach your children how to read and write 

our God will watch you each and every night 

we didn't want their God we had the sun 

our spirits moved inside of every one

They were sleeping 

They runed their light upon our innocence 

gave us pain - gave us no release 

we offered flowers to our spirit guide 

can you help us for me must decide 

Are we sleeping 

The answer came we heard it in the wind 

these men have lied and you have never sinned 

they're men like you - they know no better way 

give them to me upon their seventh day 

When they're sleeping

And so it happened on the seventh night 

when the moon was shining high and bright 

our people took them like the message said 

our spirit happy that their god was dead 

Now they're sleeping
