K`NAAN - Bulletproof Pride (Feat. Bono)

I’ve been running out of
My 70 excuses
There comes a point
when patience
Can’t take all these abuses
Now my reserves are empty
I’m feeling kind of low
Because when do you
fight for someone
And when do you let ‘em go
The other day I thought
I saw you on a magazine
Your stubborn nose pretending
to belong to the machine
I’ve been waiting for you
to come to your senses
Holding up your heavy heart
down there in the trenches
You don’t have to carry
that weight all by yourself
Even you the mercenary
could use a little help
You’ve got your gun
your bulletproof pride
You never run
but you sure know
how to hide
My friend said
he had seen you
At a movie theater
You looked just had you
had always
Didn’t ask about me either
I won’t say life ends without you
But you’re the only answer
You got me like a thief
You got me with my hands up
The other day I thought
I saw you on a magazine
Your stubborn nose pretending
to belong to the machine
I’ve been waiting for you
to come to your senses
Holding up your heavy heart
down there in the trenches
You don’t have to carry
that weight all by yourself
Even you the mercenary
could use a little help
You’ve got your gun
Your bulletproof pride
You never run
but you sure know
how to hide
Yeah there’s something wrong
Yeah be safe now
Your wish is falling before you
The stars are frustrating
You’re always into waiting
When you weave and you flow
And you leave and you stay
Only waiting is left
Now I’m kneeling around
in the cold
I’ve been waiting for you
to come to your senses
Holding up your heavy heart
down there in the trenches
You don’t have to carry
that weight all by yourself
Even you the mercenary
could use a little help
You’ve got your gun
Your bulletproof pride
You never run
but you sure know
how to hide
