The dead don't matter, the living don't care The future's on fire, the past is a nightmare So I give you my voice in this "love you" song I give you my heart, never do you no wrong We all lie so well, never give it a thought Night and day we're sold and bought Lie with a kiss, kill vicariously And through this we sing of peace and love Heaven above Talk is cheap it seems to me like The dead don't matter, the living don't care The future's on fire, the past is a nightmare So I give you my voice in this "love you" song I give you my heart, never do you no wrong Outside we scream and yell in a childish rhyme We can hardly spell "lifetime" But I know what love is for So I bring mine to your door When the world blows cold I will hold you close The struggle never ends, this is written in stone The walking wounded, will they find a way home Scars on the scars on their backs Tears over tears over tears they don't lack To answer that we sing of peace and love Heaven above, family, community Talk is cheap, it seems to me like The dead don't matter, the living don't care The future's on fire, the past is a nightmare So I give you my voice in this "love you" song I give you my heart, never do you no wrong Never let me go, never let me go When the world blows cold I will hold you close Never let me go, never let me go
