Lyrics

So, I wish,

so you think you can tell

heav en from hell, lost souls swim ming in a blue bowl, from pain.

year af ter year, Can you tell a green field run ning o ver the same from a cold, steel rail, What have we found?

a smile same from a (Am)fears.

do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade

your he roes for (D)ghosts,

hot ash es for trees,

hot air for a cool breeze,

cold com fort for charge?

And did you ex change

a walk on part in the war

for a lead role in a cage?

Da da da da da da da da da.

Da da da da da da da da da.
