lyrics

We've been led, we've been dragged
we've been meant to feel so bad
we've been filled up, like kites on your line
we've been crossed and we've been creased
and it ain't that hard to see
you and I, we live alike, you and I

we want to know where do you find that information love
in your mind, do you mind? How do you pick a side

Do you fall to your knees when you shift with the breeze
sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Are the winds like Santa Ana, or more like Havana?
Do you they make you want to flee sometimes?
Do you think you can make it to that light?

We've been pushed, we've been pulled
and where to no one knows
but ain't it nice man, being free to tour the globe?
We're told that we can, given instructions for your plan
but hey man, we ain't your man, we ain't the man

we want to know where do you find that information man
so many sides, how do you know what's right

Do you fall to your knees when you shift with the breeze
sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Are the winds like Santa Ana, or more like Havana?
Do you they make you want to flee sometimes?
Do you think you can make it to that light?

Would you trade the wind for no flame?
would you trade the love for no pain?
would you do it all again or would you change your name?

Would you fall to your knees for such a simple breeze
next time, next time, next time
Are the winds like Santa Ana, or more like Havana?
Do you they make you want to flee sometimes?
Do you think you can make it to that light?
