Max Eider : Raking Up Leaves (Max Eider)

Its not right, it's wrong
It's hard to say much in a song that goes Ahhhh...Ahhh.

But Jesus, look around you
They're always saying that, "I've found you". Jesus, Friend of The poor, What do you take me for? No Harm, No More. No Harm, No More.

I turn on, it's everything
Animals die, and I just sing.
Ahhh...Ahhh...

But Look at me, Cant see the wood for the trees. I'm only playing and raking up the leaves. My friend sam makes better job Sweeping the floor. But I can't do more. No harm, No More.  

Another year, wait and see what it brings. You make damn sure you're not pulling the strings. And as the Year goes on your heart distends. You do what you can to keep your friends, to make amends

I turn on, it's everything
I die and die, and I just Sing
Ahhh...Ahhh...

But Look at me, Cant see the wood for the trees. God knows, I'm only raking up the leaves. My friend sam makes better job Sweeping the floor. What do you do more. No harm, No More.
