From the recording Darkness & Light
Lyrics
[verse 1]
He’s the one who has it all
Not much he doesn’t own
Built your life on business deals
Where lives are bought and sold
[Chorus]
But your heart’s in oppression
Love’s a distant land
Hearts in oppression
Such a lonely little man
Hearts in oppression whoa
Hearts in oppression whoa
Hearts in oppression
[bridge]
It’s oppressive
Depressive
You’re so possessive
When you gonna see the light
So oppressive
It’s depressive
You’re so possessive
And you know it just ain’t right
[guitar solo]
[verse 2]
You made it up to the very top
Your decision’s always right
You know the ways to make a buck
But can’t you see you lose at life?
[Chorus]
But your heart’s in oppression
Love’s a distant land
Hearts in oppression
Such a lonely little man
Hearts in oppression whoa
Hearts in oppression whoa
Hearts in oppression
[verse 3]
Blind ambition on the way to the top
Now you find that the room is bare
This isn’t what it’s meant to be
You’re gonna live with your regrets
[bridge]
It’s oppressive
Depressive
You’re so possessive
When you gonna see the light
So oppressive
It’s depressive
You’re so possessive
And you know it just ain’t right
[guitar solo]
It’s Oppressive
Depressive
Possessive
When you gonna see the light
Oppressive
Depressive
There's still time for you to make it right
