HIGH HOPES^©

Studio snippet

One two, one two three

Whoa!

Monday mornin' runs to Sunday night
And screams slow me down before the new year dies
Much to kill, kill a lovin' smile
And every mother with a baby cryin' in her arms, sayin'
Give me help, give me strength
Give a soul a night of fearless sleep
Give me love, give me peace
Don't you know these days you pay for everything
Got high hopes
Got high hopes
Alright, got high hopes
Got high hopes

Comin' from the city, comin' from the wild
I see a breathless army breakin' like a cloud
It's gonna smother love, it's gonna shoot your hopes
Before the meek inherit they'll learn to hate themselves

[cut, Bruce talks to the his son, then the band]

Give me love, give me peace
Don't you know these days you pay for everything
Got high hopes

[cut, Bruce talks to Patti]

High hopes
High hopes
