Tony Peek - Someone to Love Lyrics

I had a friend who was a good vegetarian
He swore to me that he never eats meat
Said he's going to live to be an octogenarian
Be he got run over when he was crossing the street
No one's gonna warn ya
What's around the corner
A joy filled or sorrowful fate
They tell you what you're gonna be
And that becomes your destiny
And when you realise it's too late
But I don't care about tomorrow today
I just want someone to love.

Some things are good, but they're harder than they're pleasurable
Some things are best when they're finally done
Slave your whole life until you end up like a vegetable
Tired out and useless in the morning sun
Warning signs are everywhere
But nobody seems to care
We're all too busy with our lives
We'd get off the fence
If we had any sense
And we'd all start sharpening knives
But I don't care about revolution today
I just want someone to love

Don't say anything or you know they're gonna get ya
Don't complain or you'll lose your job
The rich keep getting richer and poor keep getting poorer
But if you mention sharing you're a commie slob
And sometime in the future
They'll hunt you down and shoot ya
Or lock you up and throw away the key
Freedom of speech
Is tantalisingly out of reach
In the sordid world of demonocracy
But I don't care about politics today
I just want someone to love

No white rhino, no more Dodo, but Greed is everywhere, corruption is rife
No more water, lambs to the slaughter
Wave bye-bye to all earthly life
They tell you what to scream about
And when you finally start to shout
They distract you with something else instead
It doesn't take a lot to see
There's not much left for you and me
In a world that is practically dead
But I don't care about extinction today
I just want someone to love

Hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil and I tell you what you'll find
The world is so much better if we all just smile together
The world is so much better if we pretend that we're blind
The sun is shining in the sky, birds are singing my oh my
It's a perfectly beautiful day
Come along and hold my hand
I know that you can understand
What it is that I'm about to say...
That I don't care about anything today
I just want someone to love
