You the great pretenders, blood to paint your picturesnWhile you're stepping over fallen people lying in the streetsnYou the great offenders, only your views matternWhile your heart grows colder, I wish that you could open up and feelnn[Chorus]nFor a while see if you can take itnFeel, you're alive and this is all part of itnFeel, could it be that we're all afraidn'Cause it feels like a rainy day paradennWe the great believers, blood is legal tendernI will not surrender what it was our fathers died to bearnWe the people stated, not negotiatednJust to be forgotten, I wish that you could open up and seennFor a while see if you can take itnSee, you're alive and this is all part of itnSee, can't you see that we're all afraidn'Cause it feels like a rainy day paradennWhat I see is all too realnWhat I need is what you stealnAnd all I reap is what you takenUpon my back on which you breaknAnd I just wish that we could rise above and feelnn[Chorus]
