Lyrics Twelve men wise and just Magnum

Twelve men wise and just


We all get carried away
And that’s just living
Most of us going nowhere
Nothing to say
It takes a long time
To get where you’re wanting to be
It takes a long time
Before you can see

Maybe tomorrow
You’re tempting fate when you say
There’ll be no sorrow
Might be the same as today
Politicians take the floor
Fool the people just once more
Promising everything just like before

So when the fortune teller said
That all the cards had been misread
And that they gave you up for dead for sure
You said you’d never compromise
But as you looked into her eyes
This really made you realize the cure
Stand in the middle to see
That’s not a good thing
Someone keeps blocking your view
Losing your key
It takes a long time
So don’t get too dissatisfied
It takes a long time
But it’s justified

You couldn’t swallow
Living your life on the run
How could you follow?
Knowing you might come undone
You weren’t born to thrill the crowds
Be a martyr, shout out loud
Make sure your head don’t get stuck in the clouds

So when the fortune teller said
That all the cards had been misread
And that they gave you up for dead for sure
You said you’d never compromise
But as you looked into her eyes
This really made you realize the cure

You can’t speak
Don’t feel whole
Just too weak
Heart’s grown cold

Now you’ve decided
Which way that you’re gonna go
Might be misguided
Crazy for all we might know
No one there to break the trust
Not a wind to blow the dust
Stand up the twelve men who speak wise and just

So when the fortune teller said
That all the cards had been misread
And that they gave you up for dead for sure
You said you’d never compromise
But as you looked into her eyes
This really made you realize the cure

You said you’d never compromise
But as you looked into her eyes
This really made you realize the cure

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics TWELVE MEN WISE AND JUST of MAGNUM is also present in the album Sacred blood - divine - lies (2016)
