thought I had it bad
I had nothing
I had nothing on those who had none
and I thought I had it rough
but I had not suffered
I had not suffered beneath the sun

I read about it all
in the morning paper
cup a coffee and the New York Times
and I think I saw a thing about it
on a Barbara Walters special once
he beat the shit out of her
'cause life is unkind

angels wings
will bear witness
angels wings
come roaring down
angels wings will
break the silence
and fan the flames
till the siren sounds

and she says I don't want to fear
walking down the street
I don't want to fear
walking away
and she says I don't want to fear
the anger and the heat
I don't want to be afraid
of what I'm gonna say

angels wings
will bear witness
angels wings
come roaring down
angels wings will
break the silence
and fan the flames
till the siren sounds

and it's a mans world
but a woman put him in it
the hand that rocks the cradle
is the mother of us all
and it's a mans world
but it's hard to admit it
go ahead and spin it
till the cradle falls

angels wings
will bear witness
angels wings
come roaring down
angels wings will
break the silence
and fan the flames
till the siren sounds

angels wings
will bear witness
angels wings
come roaring down
angels wings will
break the silence
and fan the flames
till the siren sounds
