â guess you donât scare easy , do ya? â
â are you brave or stupid , son? â
â it takes more than singing songs to keep a woman in your arms. â
â son , i too was left behind , turned on one too many times. â
â can i change the way it is? â
â what are you afraid of? â
â heâs just a boy in love. â
â have a drink , why donât you? â
â no , iâve had enough. â
â step into my office. â
â tell my husband to take his time. â
â he loves that girl. â
â well , thatâs too bad. â
â i know this boy. â
â you stay out of this. â
â but this poor boy raised up his voice with his heart out on his sleeve. â
â no , [name] , you should go! â
â doesnât matter which one. â
â why are you all alone? â
â where do you think youâre going? â
â we take what we can get , and we make the most of it. â
â and youâre late again! â
â lemme tell you something that my mama said to me. â
â now , some may say the weather ainât the way it used to be. â
â you might say that it was in spite of herself that this young girl decided to stay. â
â it was summertime on the road to hell. â
â there was a poor boy with a lyre. â
â there was a girl who had always run away. â
â the king of the mines is coming to call. â
â did you ever wonder what itâs like on the other side of his wall? â
â sheâs gonna ride that train to the end of the line. â
â everybody trying to get a ticket to go. â
â everybody trying to get a ticket to go , but those who go , they donât come back! â
â who makes the summer sun shine bright? â
â young man , i was young once too , sang a song of love like you. â
â whatâs that noise? â
â why do we turn away when our brother is beaten? â
â let there be some term to be agreed upon , some condition. â
â can i change my fate? â
â why do we build a wall and then call it freedom? â
â doesnât matter which one. â
â why do we turn away instead of standing with him? â
â if weâre free , tell me why we canât even stand upright. â
