You got us running round like puppets on a string
Making promises that you can never seem to keep
It's the simple things
How many golden medal plates till you have won
Is this the bed of roses that you
Want us to sleep on?
Then lay me down
Easy target, take your aim
Distant faces, same old game
Bring us change
Our freedom
Help us breath
Our freedom
We demand our freedom
Say your final prayer
Kiss away your dare
In the end we all fall down one by one
Walk a single file till you're done
Armored skin to save us all from what may become
Bigger men
Feed the child that screams for peace and harmony
Is this the love that you believe will make us all Happy?
Lay me down
Bring us change
Our freedom
Help us breath
Our freedom
We demand our freedom
Say your final prayer
Kiss away your dare
In the end we all fall down one by one
It goes on and on and on
Let's pretend we've only just begun
It's the same old thing
Promised everything
Code of cover-ups to ease our sanity\
Action drawn with blades of glory
Another plaque to grace your precious wars
Ever hunting wanting more and more
Hurry while you take a toke on your cigar
Push the middle folk to make you a star
Reoccurring adult screams
Tonka fueled childhood dreams
Say your final prayer
Kiss away your dare
In the end we all fall down one by one
It goes on and on and on
Let's pretend we have already won
