Sting

If «manners maketh man» as someone said

Then he's the hero of the day

It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile

Be yourself no matter what they say

When your belly's empty

And the hunger's so real

And you're too proud to beg

And too dumb to steal

You search the city

For your only friend.

There's no such thing as a winnable war,

It's a lie we don't believe anymore.

Mr. Reagan says we will protect you.

I don't subscribe to this point of view.

Believe me when I say to you

I hope the russians love their children too.

I close my eyes, this rare perfume

Is the sweet intoxication of her love.

Every day another miracle.

Only death will tear us apart.

To sacrifice a life for yours,

I'd be the blood of the Lazarus heart.

Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety

You could end up as the only one.

Gentleness, sobriety are rare

in this society

At night a candle's brighter than the sun.

I know that the spades are swords of a soldier

I know that the clubs are weapons of war

I know that diamonds mean money for this art

But that's not the shape of my heart

When it's love you make,

(I'll be the fire in your night.)

Then it's love you take.

There is no monopoly of common sense

On either side of the political fence.

We share the same biology

Regardless of ideology.

Let's make it all for one and all for love.

Let the one you hold be the one you want,

The one you need,

'Cause when it's all for one it's one for all.

When there's someone that should know

Then just let your feelings show

And make it all for one and all for love.
