Buffy Sainte Marie - "Fallen Angels"

Buffy Sainte Marie "Fallen Angels" Lyrics

Fallen Angels
Fallen Angels

I got a man in the business line
He power hungry, he's a money mine
Smooth as satin he's a big time shark
Fallen Angel
I got a brother, oo he mean as sin
He got a brother who's just like him
Livin' over in Moscow, 2 of a kind.
How come the great power got the junkie mind
Fallen Angels
They never get enough
Fallen Angels oo oo
They got the addictions
Fallen Angels
They litter the skies
Fallen Angels
Don't you wanna turn 'em around
Turn 'em around

I got a man in the USA
He runnin' guns with the CIA
He's the best that being bad can be
Who'd think he do it all for me
What's it matter if you're green or red
The Yankee dollar or the commie threat
When the real power in the real world
Gonna deny it all anyway
Fallen Angels
They never get enough
Fallen Angels oo oo
They got the addictions
Fallen Angels
They litter the skies
Fallen Angels
Don't you wanna turn 'em around
Turn 'em around

You believe in the system from the top on down
Potential is a beautiful thing
It's hard to keep believing in the big time
Now you're sinking in the wind
Star light, star bright
Somebody going down tonight
Told the truth when it was time to lie
Got it right
Fallen Angels
They never gel enough
Fallen Angels hoo hoo
They got the addictions
Fallen Angels
They litter the skies
Fallen Angels
Don't you wanna turn 'em around
Turn 'em around

Fallen Angels
They never gel enough
Fallen Angels hoo hoo
They got the addictions
Fallen Angels

This song is even more relevant today than when Buffy wrote it in the early 90's.

Sadly, mankind being what it is, this song

will always seem that more relevant as everything becomes worse.

Fallen Angels, they never get enough. Fallen Angels, they got the addictions. Fallen Angels, they litter the skies. Fallen Angels, dont you wanna turn 'em around? Coincidence and Likely Stories~~~Powerful song!

[ricochetpig]

[nezperce444]

thank you so much nativeamerican4life for posting this and other songs, the songs on this album are some of my favorite and so true to life that it's cryable (not really a word I know), if only we could go back in time

[iamearthbornami]

thankyou dear sister of heart for all the love you share here

[MsRadabad55]

Wow. She's the best singer/songwriter that I never listened to very much....not sure why!!

[daftandbarmy]

@foxie748 If you look at the bottom right corner of the album cover that accompanies the entire song...............

[PingeMusic]

cool again :-)

[maggieslambert]

I really love this song, it's so good. :)

[angievigilante]

I think I was 11 when I first heard this song, I didn't understand it then, but I loved it. Now I'm 31 and I'm amazed with Buffy! I'm just starting to get into her now!

[KnifeOfAllDreams]

Everybody blames, judges, and sometimes fool themselves stupid. Wishing they had bigger hearts and simpler minds, sometimes, you've gotta pray there's a pleasant fellow almost just like me.

Enough is enough, I've gotta have figured somewhere. That darling heart if a tiny bit full of itself is still a big one more than I ever deserved. Sorry big almighty, I'm a let down, but you still gave me every chance and bit of something more. Thanks for everything, life's not a game.
