So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell blue skies from Pain Can you tell a green field From a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell And did they get you to trade Your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for chains? And did you exchange A walk on part in the war For a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here We're just two lost souls Swimming in a fish bowl, Year after year Running over the same old ground What have we found? The same old fears Wish you were here
