If it's safer to speak
In comforting lies
I'd rather be dangerous
If "turn your other cheek"
Means "turn a blind eye"
I'd rather be furious
These are the last days
This is your last wave of crime
I can't hear what you say
With your foot in your mouth
It's time to get serious
You can't hear what I'm saying
If your head is in the ground
Denying the obvious
These are the last days
This is your last wave of crime
The safe ways that you sold to us
Are dead ends and a grand waste of time
We're dying to be dangerous
I cannot fake joy
In the games that you play
Where black and white turns gray as the dusk
And no teary-eyed hope
For houses on fire
Can put out these flames for us
We're dying to be dangerous
We're dying to be dangerous
