Hymn Of The Big Wheel - Massive Attack

[00:50.03]The big wheel keeps on turning
[00:54.65]On a simple line day by day
[00:59.80]The earth spins on its axis
[01:04.48]One man struggle while another relaxes
[01:09.40]There's a hole in my soul like a cavity
[01:12.84]
[01:13.86]Seems like the world is out to gather just by gravity
[01:19.28]The wheel keeps turning the sky's rearranging
[01:24.76]Look my son the weather is changing
[01:29.53]I'd like to feel that you could be free
[01:34.15]Look up at the blue skies beneath a new tree
[01:38.20]Sometime again
[01:39.89]You'll turn green and the sea turns red
[01:45.05]My son I said the power of axis over my head
[01:52.14]The big wheel keeps on turning
[01:56.44]On a simple line day by day
[02:02.05]The earth spins on its axis
[02:06.42]One man struggle while another relaxes
[02:11.91]We sang about the sun and danced among the trees
[02:16.44]And we listened to the whisper of the city on the breeze
[02:21.56]Will you cry in the most in a lead-free zone
[02:27.04]Down within the shadows where the factories drone
[02:31.73]On the surface of the wheel they build another town
[02:36.53]And so the green come tumbling down
[02:39.46]
[02:41.74]Yes close your eyes and hold me tight
[02:46.61]And i'll show you sunset sometime again
[02:52.08]The big wheel keeps on turning
[02:56.19]On a simple line day by day
[03:01.81]The earth spins on its axis
[03:06.82]One man struggle while another relaxes
[03:22.55]
[03:36.64]As a child's silent prayer my hope hides in disguise
[03:41.41]While satellites and cameras watch from the skies
[03:46.53]An acid drop of rain recycled from the sea
[03:51.52]It washed away my shadow burnt a hole in me
[03:56.52]And all the king's men cannot put it back again
[04:01.43]But the ghetto sun will nurture life
[04:06.51]And mend my soul sometime again
[04:19.06]The big wheel keeps on turning
[04:23.87]On a simple line day by day
[04:28.87]The earth spins on its axis
[04:33.55]One man struggle while another relaxes
[04:36.38]
[04:39.06]The big wheel keeps on turning
[04:43.74]On a simple line day by day
[04:48.98]The earth spins on its axis
[04:53.41]One man struggle while another relaxes
[04:58.90]The big wheel keeps on turning
[05:03.46]On a simple line day by day
[05:08.95]The earth spins on its axis
[05:13.94]One man struggle while another relaxes
