Cult, The - If Lyrics

Hi Jen. And Snaasherly.

The Cult is like Listening To Songs about People who no longer are with on Earth no fault of their own, unfortunately due to the consequences of others own doing !!!

I love PUPPY DOGS!!

This needs to be our anthem

Wonderful song...The Cult Art Work....A True Cult

Amazing ! Supports !

That's is over right.

YES YES YES..

Can we find common ground at this point

LOVE CULT
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

this is Ian's soul....but the when the guitar and drums kick in the songs becomes cliche'.....they really need to rework this track and put on the next album

Yeah we have to fight to leve..ONE ZERO.

I have just been in on YouTube for at se the best play list. That damn shit can the hold for themselves. Absolutely NO ME

Do i have to say more.

Rock com melodia sem perder ritmo !

If that's the way, that it is ?! - Great song ! Still love it - yeaha -

From southern death cult to the cult, still f***kin' Ace

"IF"

If
If that's the way that it is, ooh
If
If that's the way that it is

If we put our hearts together
And overcome our hesitation
Maybe we could join our love as one
And storm the gates of heaven, yeah

If the winds of change
Would blow in the favour of man
Resolve our situation
Undo the work of idle temptation

Oh yeah
Well, the test of time, the test of time
Oh yeah
You know, freedom will fly, yeah

If
If that's the way that it is
We gotta fight to live
If
If that's the way that it is, yeah
We gotta fight to live, yeah

If the tribes of Eden
Could find some common ground
Share in life and wisdom
And free our minds from prison, baby
If there came a prophet
Will he show us to the promised land?
Gotta start talkin'
Gotta start talkin'
Talkin', yeah
Ooh yeah
Whoa yeah-yeah

Oh, the test of time
Oh, freedom will fly

If
If that's the way that it is, yeah-yeah
We gotta fight to live, yeah
If
If that's the way that it is, well
We gotta fight to live, ooh yeah

Runnin' out of time, yeah
Coming like a holy war

We gotta fight to live
Gotta struggle now
Fight to live

If, yeah
If that's the way that it is, yeah
We gotta fight to live, ow
If
If that's the way that it is
If that's the way that it is
We gotta fight to live
Fight to live, yeah, ow
Ooh yeah-yeah
Ow...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Fight to live...

best cult

If that is the way that it is? Fucking brilliant.

Timeless Rock, underrated, Billy Duffy and Ian Astbury are a great team

The Fact that Duffy played a Gretsch White Falcon and made it sound awesome makes him an underrated skilled guitar players....Ian's voice was not too shabby either definitely one of the best vocalists

Amazing, mate !!

does nobody know what underrated means

this is the way that it is

11 people must have their heads stuck deep inside their ass. How can you dislike The Cult?

My license plate as "IF" on it - guesse I'll stick to the car for another decade :)

gostei muito .

Awesome!!!

if you fight to leave

amazing song!

Guapo guapo temazo

One of my top picks for cult songs.

we ve got to fight to live. How true.

If, uno de los mejores temas de la banda y Ian Astbury, en voz , creo que va justo!!! maravilloso!!

Impresionante tema !!!

Just another great song from an awesome band, love the Cult.

The parents of the boy on the cover of the album sued the band for using the photo without their permission. Just an interesting fact worth mentioning.

Degenerate999 did THEY pay up???... Like Led Zep always did in court?

sticazzi!!!

not quite true, the photo was originally of the boy and his mother, in an early incarnation of photoshop she was removed and although the photo was properly licensed from the original photographer their argument from the boy and mother was that once altered the photo was now not licensed and therefore they did not have permission to alter it, they sued for 60 million and got a few grand or so in the end. how do i know? i was there.

powerfull!!!! \m/

Ramon Arana

Very cool. I wish the lyrics were posted. As well as a great singer, Ian is a poet.

I fucking love this song.

PURE CULT......PURE CLASS

We have to fight to live.. 

Whose the douche bag that disliked this ass kickn" tune!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who's^^

JetsBauer i dunno man..this is gr8

To jest to !

Best Rock Band Ever. Period.

Great track! I remember in the mid 90s I narrowly missed out on seeing these guys at the Glasgow Barras.

The early/mid 90s ROCKED for good music!!!!

If there is no more chance to "live"on i will figh for my survivingt

All people listen and love Jonh Lennon music about peace ...
Cult dont do the same ? I want more of this on radios cos 80´s and 70`s have this piece of art too (i have my vinyl album and can put from start to the end amd listen all themes with same joy)

I think Blackie Lawless is Native Indian.
