Grave Ride Lyrics - Psycho's Path - John Lydon

Taken for a ride 

I know I said I'd rescue you 

But their troops had taken hold 

At last you're not alone in that city 

Am I safer, here in the cold? 

These bombs and bullets at night 

You wear like jewelry 

That seems to be the difference 

Between you and me 

Let's hope it's not a grave 

No war is worth it, without you 

No point in living without you 

I know you feel the way I do 

It's not a real world without you 

Let's hope it's not a grave 

I heard some friends got taken for a ride 

A one way journey, everybody died 

It's not unusual, many go that way 

Their numbers mounting every single day 

But what can I do but hope you're still alive 

This is what happens when opposites collide 

Public, and private, arbitrary death 

'Cause war is power and power is business 

We are but numbers, statistics on a sheet 

This is what happens whenever humans meet 

No need for fingers, we know who to blame 

Intolerance will end and start this game 

I write this letter while taken for a ride 

Maybe I'll see you on the other side 

Let's hope it's not a grave 

Two fingers crossed, hope it's not a grave 

But what can I do but hope you're still alive 

This is what happens when opposites collide 

Public and private, arbitrary death 

'Cause war is power, and power business 

These bombs and bullets at night 

You wear like jewelry 

That seems to be the difference 

Between you and me 

Hope it's not a grave
