Colin Blunstone

I wont be broken by the pounding of this world machine
Ive got to follow through, on a lifetimes dream
Im choking from the tightening of this endless red tape
But Im prepared to wait, till the day it breaks
You might slow me down a little, but its only ever going to mean
That it takes a little longer to realise the dream
And this vision just gets stronger through adversity
But nothing on this earth will ever stop me
Chorus
But were still tearing the good things down
Still throwing it all away
I used to love this town
Not anymore, not today
We are sending the good guys out
We should be making the bad ones pay
When moneys the only sound
Anyone hears today
I lost my woman to a sinner with a bigger car
You know he talked real clever, "say you dont have to stay where you are"
Thats when I knew Id lost before Id even started to fight
But I believe in waiting till she comes home at night
Chorus
When we are sending the good guys out
Why arent we making the bad ones pay
When moneys the only sound
Anyones hearing today
And I know I didnt always think about you
I was busy taking on the world you said
If Id only taken time out to be there for you
I wonder how a different ending might have read
