lyrics

There's no grey pilgrim coming to our aid
No Doctor in a blue box coming to save the day
No superhero wearing mask and cape
No unexpected horse ride coming in the nick of time

We are on our own and if you wait for the heavens above
To give you the answers, you got another thing
Never coming

They've been singing give me love and peace
Give me freedom, hey, buddy, did it come?
How long will you wait for the government
Or the abusive lover to mellow out and amend?

Begging "set me free" is a deep paradox in terms
If you want your dignity, fight for it
You have to grab it

When you wish upon the stars above
Choose carefully, most have been dead for centuries
And when you go to bed with a heart painfully loaded
Cry your heart out then get your guns out

For if no superpower will help you, well it also means
That no superpower can restrain you
Unless you allow it to

I'm feeling so alive
More than ever redefined
I've learned to love the light
The little flame frail and weak it seems
Hunted by the http://www.deepinthewoods.be/fr/toplinks_fr/contact.html
icy breeze
But never will it die

Rats and cockroaches will gnaw
And spit upon your bones
Or lure you with fool's gold
They'll give you a monkey for your back
Your soul, they'll paint it black
That's just the way it goes
