Heartless People Lyrics - Dean Wareham - Dean Wareham

The air you breathe, land and seas ruled by heartless people 

Wars afar, lovers scarred, all by heartless people 

But you, you and I, hate to see a flower die 

Somebody tell me which way the power lies 

Somebody tell me which way the power lies 

I looked at you, I knew you were for me 

Among them heartless people 

And when we met the hard times just left 

Along with heartless people 

But you, you and I, hate to hear a baby cry 

Somebody tell me which way the power lies 

Somebody tell me which way the power lies 

No one ever really knew the trouble in my heart 

She had a way with me, right from the very start 

Before I take my last breath, before they call me home 

You can hope for the best 

But what is written in stone 

The air you breathe, land and seas, ruled by heartless people 

Wars afar, lovers scarred, all by heartless people 

But you, you and I, hate to see a flower die 

Somebody tell me which way the power lies 

Somebody tell me which way the power lies 

Somebody tell me which way the power lies 

Which way the power lies x 4
