Tom Said Songtext
von The Devoted Few

We were on the corn
When the news came round
That Kerouac died
The street car sound
With vengeance of smoke
And radiator hum
Tom said that′s what you get
From nothing but a diet of rum

He said the higher you get
The smaller you are
He said the higher you get
The smaller you are

So he set off from his street bed
He took the pain out of his pocket
And before Tom left
He drew the words on the walls
And we all fell back with the words we saw


He said the tyranny of men
It's the fear in our hearts
The tyranny of men
It′s the fear in our hearts
The tyranny of men
It's the fear in our hearts
He said the tyranny of man
It's the fear in our hearts

Tom said the tyranny of men
Is the fear in our heart
He said the tyranny of men
It′s the fear in our hearts
He said the higher we get
The smaller we are
He said the higher we get
The smaller we are
We are

He said the higher we get
He said the higher we get
He said the higher we get the smaller we are
The higher we get the smaller we are
The higher we get the smaller we are
The higher we get the smaller we are
The higher we get (the smaller we are)
He said the higher we get
