The Only Road Lyrics & Chords By Andy Summers

The world was given by his holy 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

We were sleeping
We were sleeping

They said they'd come and they would build a road
We'll burn your trees, 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 spirit moved inside of everyone

They were sleeping
They were sleeping
They were sleeping
They were sleeping

They turned their light upon our innocence
Gave us pain, gave us no release
We offered flowers to our spirit guide
Can you help us for we must decide

Are we sleeping
Are we sleeping
Are we sleeping
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

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
Now they're sleeping
Now they're sleeping
Now they're sleeping
