lyrics

Who said that brave men have to die instead of living a tough life?
It's misery! It turned us into bitter souls that queue for for lies
We strive for someone else's car for someone else's skies
We fight! But for schemes and promises - that they say they will bring the wise
I'd go - I'd go instead of you
I don't know what else is that I should now do
They play cards betting on people's hearts -
All we do is play the gangsters kill the fools

I might know -
I know better than you, I don't know how to be heard across and through Our lives matter more than our cries -
No god's happy, money's nothing -
When you're dead where to spend to?

Hold me and maybe we can see the sunrise from up here
It's the people who want the people to completely disappear
How come and we never learnt to accept one the other
It's not that people didn't have the time -
So why this all? why this all now, mother?

I'd go - I'd go instead of you
I don't know what else is that I should now do
They play cards betting on people's hearts -
All we do is play the gangsters kill the fools

I might know -
I know better than you, I don't know how to be heard across and through Our lives matter more than our cries
No god's happy, money's nothing
When you're dead where to spend to?
