Bruce Cockburn Put Our Hearts Together Lyrics

Put Our Hearts Together Lyrics

Don't need the everlasting trade expansion Don't need the cold white heroin
breath Don't need Pizzarro or the Inquisition No berserk worship of a hero's
death Don't need reactionary politicians Don't need the gunfight at the O.K.
Don't need no Reverend Paisley hate-masturbation Don't need no Jihad or no IRA




We need to put our hearts together Set up a rhythm in combination
And if we put our hearts together We get a rhythm that will shake creation 



Who needs supremacy of pink people There's no such thing as a pure
racial strain It takes all colours to make a rainbow Takes every part to make a
working brain The whole of history is a growing together If you want pure,
you're gonna have caves again Anyway who needs a geek like the Grand Dragon So
full of shit his breath makes acid rain 



We need to put our hearts
together Set up a rhythm in combination And if we put our hearts together We get
a rhythm that will shake creation 



Woman-in-kitchen, man-in-palace
Worshipping the performance of the phallus Gaming for power till their hearts
grow callous As if a human's just an animal with malice Limp lance, phallocrat,
finger on the trigger Go ahead and stay small while everything gets bigger It's
a bully's game and I don't want to play Why don't you think about the better
way 



We need to put our hearts together Set up a rhythm in
combination And if we put our hearts together We get a rhythm that will shake
creation
