i only wanted such a little thingonly simplicityand now that i am who i was taught to beyou have abandoned mei held so tightly to every word you saidthat's the price of the respect you've always demandedand all those things i've gathered through the yearshave no value here(chorus)i need to find a place where i can breathesomewhere high above this empty landscapewhere the air is clearand i need to find it while i still canin a world like thishow can you wonder at my sadness?now i hope for something beautifulbut i feel trapped under your waves of wreckageand if i cannot claw my own way throughi fear one day i will be just like youin this land of vacant starsin the backseats of desperate carsin single-mother topless barswe ache for something moreyour sons and your daughtersare unwilling martyrsto the devils, priests, and other thievesand their wars and rumors of wari need a handgun and a hand grenadeto protect me from those who keep me safestill i remember you straight face:"Some day this will all be yours." |
