Don't you come to me
With all your color-coded quotes
Everybody's laughing
But they never ever get my jokes
Fool, you're a tool, a sheep (Ooooh)
And it's obvious to everyone
But company you keep
And don't you squint at me
Because your childhood was the pits
Every single one of us
Have trodden through our shit
Oh, and I know you're shrewd (Ooooh)
Because I smell it on your clothes
It's in everything you do
Falling, fallen, we all fall down
It only really matters
How we stand our ground
If and when we rise
To our feet again
We'll be on our own
Everything we built (It's gone)
And every one around (Is stunned)
We just sit here staring blankly
And everything goes numb
Lord, if I felt a thing (Ooooh)
I could wrap my mind around this
And prevent our getting singed
And please excuse my enemies
I think they do not know
I will gladly self destruct
If they leave me alone
Friend, that's the end of us (Ooooh)
Because you're way behind in empathy
And overdue on trust
Calmly, calmly and patiently
We've seen all the evidence
But still cannot believe
If and when we rise
To our feet again
We'll be on our own
Somehow, someway, we perservere
The questions on our lips
Fall on deafened ears
If and when we rise
To our feet again
We'll be on our own
