ABC - Validation Lyrics

Validation, self preservation, motivation
When the world runs dry
Feel alone and getting high, getting high
I know not why, I know not why

You can lead a horse to mordor
But you cannot make it rain
Love your sons and daughters
But don't tell them what to think
You can sing a thousand songs of love and war
And not know why, I know not why

A crystal kingdom, a chemical kitchen
A guy on a corner, chosing a victim
Needles and pins yea, so what are you fixing?
Broken lives, I know not why, I know not why

You can lead a horse to mordor
But you cannot make it rain
Love your sons and daughters
But don't tell them what to think
You can sing a thousand songs of love and war
And not know why, I know not why

All of the lawless, all of the lonely
All of your loved ones they want to phone me
The bad and the beautiful, the wild and outrageous, love is contageous
I know not why, I know not why

You can lead a horse to mordor
But you cannot make it rain
Love your sons and daughters
But don't tell them what to think
You can sing a thousand songs of love and war
And not know why, I know not why

Go ask the birds why they fly so high way up into the sky
Don't run to me, don't come to me, expecting a reply
You can sing a thousand songs of love and war
And not know why, I know not why
