Life makes short work of all I see
Men take the change from beggars
Tight bound in sheets
Red and blue, the useless sirens scream
The song of masses, passing outside
All inciting the fifth of July
When guns for hire open fire, blind against the dawn
When the knights in iron took the pawn
You and I, out into the night
Held within the line that they've drawn
As I went they're all beside us in silence
As if unaffected amid the violence
Oh, are we also tamed?
I was in a river, as if in water
Wife, a son, a son, a son, and a daughter
Oh, are we also tamed?
I walked home, no words to say
Cassius, one month gone on his way
And who will lead us and who remains to die?
By a thread, drop my head to cry
As I went they're all beside us in silence
As if unaffected amid the violence
Ooh, are we also tamed?
I was in a river, as if in water
Wife, a son, a son, a son, and a daughter
Ooh, are we also tamed?
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Past my window, out in the street Life makes short work of all I see Men take the change from beggars Tight bound in sheets Red and blue, the useless sirens scream The song of masses, passing outside All inciting the fifth of July When guns for hire open fire, blind against the dawn When the knights in iron took the pawn You and I, out into the night Held within the line that they've drawn As I went they're all beside us in silence As if unaffected amid the violence Oh, are we also tamed? I was in a river, as if in water Wife, a son, a son, a son, and a daughter Oh, are we also tamed? I walked home, no words to say Cassius, one month gone on his way And who will lead us and who remains to die? By a thread, drop my head to cry As I went they're all beside us in silence As if unaffected amid the violence Ooh, are we also tamed? I was in a river, as if in water Wife, a son, a son, a son, and a daughter Ooh, are we also tamed? Ooh Ooh Ooh Explain Request ×
