Without Those Songs

Would Dylan be just a poet? Would Bono ever know it without those songs? Hm Would Marley be just a stoner? Johnny Cash just be a loner without those songs? Hm Would Buddy Holly have disappeared? Or would Lennon still be here without those songs? Yeah yeah What happened in their lives? What happened in their hearts? To make them want to write the words Gonna tear this world apart The beauty of their lives Is when they're dead and gone The world still sings along When anything went right When anything went wrong They put it in a song Would Elvis be just a look Or the Rolling Stones be stuck without those songs? Hm Would Sinatra be just a gangster Or would Jackson be just a dancer without those songs? Yeah Would Madonna be just a face? Or Nirvana be just a place without those songs? Yeah What happened in their lives? What happened in their hearts? To make them want to write the words Gonna tear this world apart The beauty of their lives Is when they're dead and gone The world still sings along When anything went right When anything went wrong They put it in a song, yeah Ooh Ooh When anything went right When anything went wrong They put it in a song Oh who would make us sing And where would we all be without those songs Without those songs --- Without Those Songs - The Script
