Stiff Necked Fools - Bob Marley & The Wailers

Woman hold her head and cry Cause her son had been shot down in the street and died From a stray bullet Woman hold her head and cry Accompanying her was a passerby Who saw the woman cry Wondering can she work it out Now she knows that the wages of sin is death The gift of God is life Oh, oh, oh, oh Johnny was a good man Oh yeah Woman hold her head and cry Cause her son had been shot down in the street and died Just because of the system Woman hold her head and cry Comforting her I was passing by And I saw the woman cry She cried, oh, oh, oh, oh Johnny was a good man Never did a thing wrong Take it down Johnny went out on a Saturday night Never hurt anybody never started no bar room fight Johnny never did nobody no wrong Never hurt anybody never hurt anybody Johnny was a good man Johnny, Johnny, Johnny... Johnny was a good man [Repeat] In a top floor flat in the middle of the night There's a man with rifle and Johnny in his sight, I said oh no, we can't let that kind of thing happen here no more Oh no Johnny, Johnny, Johnny... A single shot rings out in a Belfast night and I said oh Johnny was a good man Can a woman's tender care Cease towards the child she bears Johnny [Repeat]

There you go Getting so overly comfortable, baby Does it ever cross your mind? Like oh no, she wants to be in somebody else's photos On the low-low You don't know what I'm thinking, you don't even try Whatever you've been drinking has got you right off your mind like I know you've been hurting, and I know I'm the reason why Don't you know, baby? Only fools stick around when the love is gone Don't you know, baby? Only fools stick around when the love is all gone Don't you know, baby? Hey, I just fool around Babe, such a fool for me (Fool for me) 'Cause only fools stick around When the love is all gone You walk a hundred miles And wait a while for somebody Who don't even smile Does it ever cross your mind? Like, oh Lord She don't want to dance with the same man, no more Are you so sure? You don't know what I'm thinking, you don't even try Whatever you've been drinking has got you right off your mind like I know you've been hurting, and I know I'm the reason why Don't you know, baby? Only fools stick around when the love is gone Don't you know, baby? Only fools stick around when the love is all gone Don't you know, baby? Hey, I just fool around Babe, such a fool for me (Fool for me) 'Cause only fools stick around When the love is all gone There you go Getting so overly comfortable, baby Does it ever cross your mind?

You want things your way And I want these mine And now we don't know Just where you draw the line How can love survive If we keep cheers and sights And who picks up the pieces Every time two fools collide You lay the blame on me And I put the blame on you But why do we keep finding faults In everything you do And how long can we keep right in wrongs So cut and cry And who picks up the pieces Every time two fools collide We can save our love We still have the time Oh, I know there must be a way But we still haven't tried To keep our hearts from breaking Every time two fools collide.

My aunt used to live in Paris I remember, she used to come home and tell us stories about being abroad and I remember that she told us she jumped in the river once, Barefoot She smiled, Leapt, without looking And She tumbled into the Seine! The water was freezing she spent a month sneezing but said she would do it, again Here's to the ones who dream Foolish, as they may seem Here's to the hearts that ache Here's to the mess we make She captured a feeling Sky with no ceiling Sunset inside a frame She lives in her liquor and died with a flicker I'll always remember the flame Here's to the ones who dream Foolish, as they may seem Here's to the hearts that ache Here's to the mess we make She told me: A bit of madness is key to give us to color to see Who knows where it will lead us? And that's why they need us, So bring on the rebels The ripples from pebbles The painters, and poets, and plays And here's to the fools who dream Crazy, as they may seem Here's to the hearts that break Here's to the mess we make I trace it all back, to that Her, and the snow, and the sand Smiling through it She said She'd do it, Again
