THE ALARM - REASON 41 (LIVE KBFH) lyrics

"OK This is a song called reason 41.

One two three four"

Well I used to wonder why that

When it's black there is no white

And why that when it's day

There is never any night

I got talking to a soldier and he tried to set things right

He said, "If you want peace them you will always have to fight"

Hey

I went searching in the desert

Where it just began to rain

And I met up with this drunken bum who said he'd "lost his name"

He said, "I put it in this bottle and it drifted out to sea".

I said, "there is no water here" and he walked away from me

So then I asked for help from a very clever man

He kept looking down at his figures

He was a very busy man

I told him what the problem was He said, "that's sad. I'd like to help you boy but there is nothing I can add"

"Guitar"

Now my throat was getting dry And I was feeling kinda rough

But I just kept on searching 'till that I'd had enough

I came across a doctor he said, "his cure was the best"

He diagnosed my troubles, but I didn't get no rest

"One more time"

Now I was really kind of puzzed

By the things that had been said

And all the people that I've mentioned started spinning round my head

I gave it up for lost and it suddenly was clear

The only reason you are there is 'cos I'm over here

Hey!
