John Wesley Harding
Need I Know
[Verse 1]
Used to be my voice wasn't my own
I just repeated what I heard at home
There's more inside than the outside knows
They string you up fast, they cut you down slow
[Chorus]
Need I know, should I see
Nothing that you do matters to me
Maybe I'm numb, maybe I'm green
Maybe I'm fallen from yesterday's dream
[Verse 2]
When I hear your voice lecturing me
I open my eyes some and what do I see?
That you and your money are one and the same
Skies of November arе proud to be gray
[Chorus]
Need I know, should I see
Nothing that you want matters to me
Maybе I'm numb, maybe I'm green
Maybe I'm fallen from yesterday's dream
[Bridge]
There's nothing much to do tonight
Except watch you turn to the right
It's kind of funny that you're building fences
When you're already inside
[Verse 3]
What we're defending is anyone's guess
Well you better learn to clean up your own mess
'Cause I'm not about to make truth of your lies
Suffer the blows or cover your eyes
[Chorus]
Need I know, should I see
Nothing that you fear matters to me
Maybe I'm numb, maybe I'm green
Maybe I've fallen from yesterday's dream
Need I know, should I see
Nothing that you fear matters to me
Maybe I'm numb, maybe I'm green
Maybe I'm fallen from yesterday's dream
