Indigo Girls - the ballad of squeaky fromme lyrics

i'm scared as hell

squeaky's out of jail

i can feel her close behind me

like the devil on my heels

well they say she's heading to california

or maybe for dc

well i'm sitting here down in georgia

i'm talking with my family

the contras called a truce

and they broke it in an hour

now someone sitting in the tower of babel

is giving them that power

they stopped the war in bethlehem

oh to let sweet jesus pass

but how much does it really mean

they screw him over behind his back

i can feel her closing in

and i hope she understands

that society and me

now we aren't necessarily hand in hand

she's broken all her bonds

got no superficial cause

she gave up all her chances

to live inside the law

so squeaky

peace on earth

will you tell me what it's worth

from the inside out i'd let you in

you might understand

now squeaky

in your mixed-up mind

you may not be so blind

ah squeaky give me peace on earth

and then you tell me what it's worth

now squeaky give me peace on earth

and then you tell me what it's worth

from the inside out i'd let you in

cause you might understand

god is in my heart

but the devil is in our bones

and squeaky

oh squeaky

you are not alone

yeah you are not alone

give me peace on earth

give me peace on earth

peace on earth

peace on earth

peace on earth

peace on earth

peace on earth

peace on earth

now squeaky give me peace on earth

and then you tell me what it's worth

from the inside out i would, i would let you in

i think that you might understand

that god, god is in my heart

but the devil

i said the devil

the devil's in our bones

and squeaky

oh squeaky

we are not alone
