| 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 |
