Cash, Rosanne - Like Fugitives lyrics

The priest is prayin' for your soul

And the doctor for your heart

Someone tell me how to live

Now that we must live apart

Once we had a mother

But that's all over now

So wish her well and let her go

Just as soon as you know how

It's a strange new world we live in

Where the church leads you to hell

And the lawyers get the money

For the lives they divide and sell

And the only truth believed in

Is the one upon the screen

So we live our lives like fugitives

And we were born to live like queens

Once we all were daughters

Now we'll never hear thy name

I never think I could have learned

I just turned into the game

Don't send me no more letters

With your ignorance and rage

I don't want your tired religion

Not a soul you need to save

It's a strange new world we live in

Where the church leads you to hell

And the lawyers get the money

For the lives they divide and sell

It's a strange new world we live in

Where the church sends you to hell

And the lawyers get the money

For the lives they divide and sell

And the only truth believed in

Is the one upon the screen

So we live our lives like fugitives

And we were born to live like queens
