|
At first i caught the wave |
|
Looking for something genuine |
|
Had this feeling but i fought it |
|
You're damn right i'm choosing sides |
|
Like some tourist or a slave |
|
And their eyes were dead like mine |
|
Caught somewhere in between |
|
Lost in the great divide |
|
And i replayed this touching scene |
|
As i lied sick in compromise |
|
We all know what they bring |
|
We all know they decide |
|
And they want to change you |
|
And they want to change you |
|
And they want to turn your world around |
|
And they want to change you |
|
But sometimes the bravest thing |
|
Is just to lay down your arms and sing |
|
Can't do this on my own |
|
I can't do this on my own |
|
They curse as their collar dripped |
|
But the greatest reward has the greatest of risks |
|
But you already know, but you already know this |
|
At first we just began |
|
We had peace like chamberlain [?] |
|
But the marching orders came |
|
Yeah the marching orders in |
|
And their numbers stretched for days |
|
I tried in vain but i couldn't swim |
|
We all know what this means |
|
We watched it all begin |
|
And they want to change you |
|
And they want to change you |
|
And they want to turn your world around |
|
And they want to change you |
|
And they'll try to take you |
|
And they wanna break your heart |
|
They want to tear your world apart |
|
And they want to change you |
|
And then your eyes rolled back |
|
I felt the battle shift within |
|
Down this lonely path |
|
Down this lonely path again |
|
Honey you hold me close |
|
It's getting late, the lights are dim |
|
Consumed by so much wrath |
|
Down this path of mortal sin |
|
So honey you'll hold me back |
|
You'll hold me back again |
