You can taste the bright lights
But you won't get there for free.
You can taste the bright lights
But you won't get there for free.
Welcome to the jungle we take it day by day.
If you want it you're gonna bleed
But it's the price to pay.
When you're talkin to yourself and nobody's home
You can fool yourself you came in this world alone...
And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothing' lasts forever
Even cold November rain...
Look at the shoes your filling
Look at the blood we're spilling
Look at the world we're killing
The way we've always done before.
Look in the doubt we've wallowed
Look at the leaders we've followed
Look at the lies we've swallowed
And I don't want to hear no more.
We all come in from the cold, we come down from the wire
An everybody warms themselves to a different fire
When sometimes we get burned, you'd think sometime we'd learn
The one you love is the one that should take you higher
You ain't got no one, you better go back out and find her.
My hands are tied
For all I've seen has changed my mind
But still the wars go on as the years go by
With no love of God or human rights
'Cause all these dreams are swept aside
By bloody hands of the hypnotized
Who carry the cross of homicide
And history bears the scars of our civil wars.
And I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store.
