Angels breathe fire Children dance long before they walk
A world filled with desire and now the mechanical demons talk
I can’t get no higher but the pain just won’t leave
My preacher is a liar now my cop is a thief

While politicians turn traitor warriors are still dying in the street
The lost children’s faces just remind me of who I used to be
The haters are my brothers the lovers are my friends
They spend their time sitting around making so many useless endless battle plans

It’s the same old news on a different day
The world gone crazy sometimes too dark to see
Sometimes the dream gets lost in the fog and the drinks
Turns out you only see what you want it to be

One side is on fire the other may drown
It Might be time to stand me up somebody help me get me out of this town
Sister morphine in my dream don’t you know I need you now
Somebody wake me up somebody help me wake me up somehow

It’s the same ole story told a different way
A world gone crazy tiny heads right on the TV
Their words so cold and the children cry
Still our warriors are dying lying in the street

It’s the same ole world as when I was 16
Something told me you better run and I did not hesitate
Now I see that I am not alone there are so many like me
Trust me now you know your dream going to turn into a reality

It’s the same ole notes on a different day
A world gone crazy sometimes too dark to see
The childhood dream lost in the smoke and the trees
Turns out you are just who you pretended to be
