Means of Survival

David Knopfler


I said hey - how can you justify the need?
I said wait - how could you you see but not believe?
How could you leave - walking away high on denial

I said hey - can you justify your greed?
Do you think - hearts like mine don't bleed?
I'm on my way - another day
Consumed before arrival

For sins such as these the shadows are long
A heart must believe and a heart must be strong
But with friends such as these
Maybe I have the means of survival

You say "Hey - I can't go on with you this way"
I agree - Baby something had to change
I'm on my way - no ride is free
Fighting for survival

What kind of jealousies brought darkness to you?
So many damaged by the evil you do 
I'm on my way - yeah yeah
I'm on my way

For sins such as these
The shadows are long
A heart that can grieve
Is a heart that is strong
With friends I believe
Maybe I've found the means of survival
