lyrics

My mother and father, they went to Helsinki
and in the name of Jesus, they had a baby boy
Gave him a name and they gave him religion
Gave him a blanket, they gave him a toy
Gave him a language and said they were sorry
for bringing him into these turbulent times
Showed him Americans looking for glory
by pointing the finger and picking up signs

I don't want to weigh you down
but I want to be your anchor
I don't want to be a burden
but it's heavy love

Grew up to find a new axis of evil
Twenty-nine years and it all looks the same
Same people selling their power to some people
Who punish the people for playing the game
I wanted to be on the Fortune 500
Guess I just had nothing better to do
I wanted to live in a New York apartment
I wanted to work on Madison Avenue

I don't want to weigh you down
but I want to be your anchor
I don't want to be a burden
but it's heavy love
I don't want to see you cry
I don't want to see you labor
but I want to see you work
for this heavy love

I wanted my coffee, I wanted my beer
I wanted my courage, I wanted my fear
I wanted my pleasure, I wanted my pain
I wanted to help you, I wanted to gain

I want it, I want it, I want it still
I want it until I overfill

I don't want to weigh you down
but I want to be your anchor
I don't want to be a burden
but it's heavy love
I don't want to see you cry
I don't want to see you labor
but I want to see you work
for this heavy love
I don't want to weigh you down
but I want to be your anchor
I don't want to be a burden
but it's heavy love
I don't want to see you die
I don't want you in danger
I just want to see you work
for this heavy love
