    Thumbs up Draw the line - Matt York

    Hey,
    I couldn't find the lyrics for "Draw the line" (Matt York) in the internet.
    I think the reason is that Matt York isn't very famous.
    So I tried to listen to the song in order to get the lyrics, but I'm german and really have problems with understanding many parts.
    So please, can someone whose mother tongue is English help me?
    I'm afraid you might not find the song in the internet, this is the only place I found it: http://uploads.mp3songurls.com/05%20...the%20Line.mp3

    And here's my very incomplete and likely totally wrong version of the text, I really had an issue with understanding Matt York:


    Yellin’ (?) thousand years
    Will we look back and say that we work fair
    Yellin’ (?) thousand years
    Will your beauty still me there?

    Building(?) buildings,
    Building buildings to satisfy our needs.
    But I need and want the same thing yeah, yeah.
    the same things change direction, change direction, oh, oh.

    Now it’s time to change d…(?)
    Yeah we hurt each other
    We pretend we’ve seen nothing
    Pretend we’ve seen nothing ooh

    In all I hope that,
    We love the medicines( ?) offered here
    In all I hope that,
    We don’t hold the world watchin’ for
    So we’re all the same, no we might be different.
    In all I hope that,
    Your sm…(?) draw the line(?)

    Daring thousands things about the way we living
    In while we choose to live this way
    Ye…(?) Sign we don’t even know our neighbour
    Working we’ve been killing, (?) giving, yeah.

    Now it’s time to change d…(?)
    Yeah we hurt each other
    We pretend we’ve seen nothing
    Pretend we’ve seen nothing ooh

    In all I hope that,
    We love the medicines(?) offered here
    In all I hope that,
    We don’t hold the world watchin’ for
    So we’re all the same, no we might be different, we might be different.
    In all I hope that,
    Your sm…(?) draw the line(?)

    Yeah, yeah, draw the line(?)
    Yeah, yeah, mmh oh…

    Brilliants are im…(?),
    Mule(?) s..(?) in the lane(?)
    …(?) on a corner (?)
    Strummin’ for your change

    s..(?) …(?) cryin’
    she knows it’s not right
    ….(?) poems
    Are on the streets

    Now it’s time to change … (??)
    Yeah we hurt each other
    We pretend we’ve seen nothing
    Pretend we’ve seen nothing ooh

    In all I hope that,
    We love the medicines(?) offered here
    In all I hope that,
    We don’t hold the world watchin’ for
    So we’re all the same, no we might be different, we might be different.
    In all I hope that,
    Your sm…(?) draw the line(?)

    Yeah, yeah, draw the line(?)
    Oh, oh, n…(?) draw the line(?)
    Yeah, s…(?) draw the line(?)
    Oh, oh…




    I would be very glad if you can correct it, or better rewrite.

    Greetings,

    Sinan

    p.s.: Sorry for my perhaps bad English...

    Brilliants (?) on origins (?),
    Most starts in a lane
    Hendrix on a corner

    Strummin’ for your change

    St. Mona Lisa's cryin’
    She knows it’s not right
    And prodigies and poets
    Are on the streets
    होता है जो होना है ... वक़्त ही शायद खुदा है ...
    कौन कहता है आदमी अपनी किस्मत खुद लिखता है?

    Hey Steena, thanks for trying it. I also hope there's someone who can understand the rest.
    This forum is really great, I've just discovered it while searching the lyrics of this song.
    I think you did a big part of this song, thank you

    Hi Sinan2792, Hi Steena,

    more changes to consider. I agree, it is very difficult to clearly understand many parts.

    In a thousand years
    Will we look back and say that we were fair
    In a thousand years
    Will the beauty still be there?

    We build buildings,
    Building buildings to satisfy our needs.
    But are needs and wants the same thing yeah, yeah
    seems we’ve changed direction, changed direction, oh, oh.

    Now that signs have changed all/on
    Yeah we hurt each other
    We pretend we see nothing
    Pretend we see nothing ooh

    And oh I hope that,
    we learn the lessons offered here
    and oh I hope that,
    we don’t hold the world and watch it fall
    seein’ we’re all the same, though we might be different.
    and oh I hope that,
    we all smarten up and draw the line

    There are times I think about the way we’re living
    and why we choose to live this way
    in a time we don’t even know our neighbor
    What can we be giving, giving, yeah.


    Yeah, yeah, draw the line
    Yeah, yeah, mmh oh…

    ? on a bridge is,
    Mozart’s in a lane
    Hendrix on a corner
    Strummin’ for your change

    seein’ Mona Lisa’s cryin’
    she knows it’s not right
    and prodigies & poets
    Are on the streets

    And the signs unchains us
    Yeah we hurt each other
    We pretend we see nothing
    Pretend we see nothing ooh

    Just yeah, yeah, draw the line
    Oh, oh, now draw the line
    Yeah, then draw the line
    Oh, oh…
    Wenn man dem Hass freien Lauf läßt, wird er die Seele von innen zerstören.

    But you did a great job, Macbard!

    I would stick to my "most things start in a lane" line since he wants to express that it's the people who start revolutions by going outside. But still you never know

    Hey, sorry for the late answer.
    I think I missed the first mail of Matt York, so he sent it one more time.
    Here it is, and thank you for your help!
    And also a huge thanks to Matt York!!!!
    And the ending might be the one you two wrote down here
