Stop Lyrics & Tabs by Hugh Cornwell
Stop
guitar chords lyrics
I seen boys get up and blowing it
With the world in the palm of their hands
I seen beautiful girls losing their curls
I seen 'em stretched out an' getting a tan
I seen criminal types, I'll forgive 'em the hype
Dressed up in a tailored suit
I seen an angel with a pair o' wings
Running off with a bag o' loot
I said stop it's getting late
I said stop, stop, try burying your hate
I seen a human face inside a colored race
Gettin' up and starting to run
I seen a man get bored
I seen a bone get gnawed
I seen him playing with a loaded gun
I seen a man get bored
I seen a bone get gnawed
I seen him playing with a loaded gun
I seen you laughing loud
I seen you crying wolf
I seen you steppin' on yo' fellowman
I seen you grabbing at everything you want
With a pair of clawing hands
I said stop it's getting late
I said stop try burying your hate
I said stop and learn to love
I said stop, stop
Look above at the crown of love
You can try it on, it fits you like a glove
there are jewels up there for you take a pair
Nobody will miss them if you want to dare
I said stop
I said stop
I said stop
I said stop
I said stop it's getting late
I said stop, try burying your hate
I said stop and learn to love
I said stop
Look above at the crown of love
You can try it on, it fits you like a glove
There are jewels up there for you, take a pair
Nobody will miss them if you want to dare
I said stop it's getting late
I said stop, try burying your hate
I said stop and learn to love
I said stop, stop
I seen men acting like they're dumb
I seen women acting like they're scared
I seen both together raising kids
I seen both with the time to spare
I seen loving each other
I seen fighting mad
I seen working for a gallon of gas
I seen an uptight man in a monkey suit
Cracking skulls for a little brass
I said stop
I said stop
Yeah, stop
I said stop
Yeah, stop
I said stop
I said stop
I said stop
Stop
I said stop
I said stop
