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
