Rosanne Cash Lyrics
"Like Fugitives"

The priest is praying for your soul
and the doctor for your heart
someone tell me how to live
now that we must live apart

Once we had a mother
but that's all over now
so wish her well and let her go
just as soon as you know how

It's a strange new world we live in
where the church leads you to hell
and the lawyers get the money
for the lives they divide and sell
and the only truth believed in
is the one up on the screen
so we live our lives like fugitives
when we were born to live like queens

Yeah once we all were daughters
now we'll never hear that name
and everything I could have learned
I just turned into a game

Don't semd me no more letters
with your ignorance and rage
I don't want your tired religion
I'm not a soul you need to save

It's a strange new world we live in
where the church leads you to hell
and the lawyers get the money
for the lives they divide and sell

It's a strange new world we live in
where the church leads you to hell
and the lawyers get the money
for the lives they divide and sell
and the only truth believed in
is the one up on the screen
so we live out lives like fugitives
when we were born to live like queens
