I've seen the writing on the wall Sliding to the ground Too many people telling me There's only way to go
So listen up and get on top You're counting one up to ten Open your eyes and I'll be gone You'll never see me again
There's got to be a better way Don't you know You've got to cry out for your right
Chorus: When the lights go down, When the lights go down When the lights go down, When the lights go down
I'm getting up and hitting back I'm heading straight for the top I'm ready now to cut you down To bring your game to a stop
The lights go down the time has come Waiting for the hammer to fall You've got to strike for what you've got I'll give you no chance at all
There's got to be a better way Don't you know You've got to cry out for your right
Chorus: When the lights go down, When the lights go down When the lights go down, When the lights go down
What is wrong, I don't know Living fast dying slow It's alright, there got to be a better way And I know it's coming for you Oh come on
There's got to be a better way Don't you know You've got to cry out for your right
Chorus: When the lights go down, When the lights go down, I'll be waiting When the lights go down, There's got to be a better way When the lights go down
When the lights go down, I'll be waiting When the lights go down
