Lyrics
"Nothing ever changes,"
Wisdom from one whose burden is years
I chose not to listen,
I'd rather die than live in fear
Roll the dice while covering your eyes,
It all seems so insane
No one wins when everybody loses,
Choose your own source of blame
From childhood through independence,
War and indifference,
Such is strife
Take my half-life,
I've burnt the rest
Foolish games to be played
By a lonely, numberless claim
No one knows my true name
Burn the hypocrites in their flame
Sacrifice
'Though I must leave tomorrow,
My heart will always be here with you
Old men hold the reins of power
I'm not so old I can't be true
Long as I can remember,
Money wrote the book
Why bother looking back in anger?
There's nowhere left to imprison the crook
From childhood through independence,
War and indifference,
Such is strife
Pay the Piper's wife
With your half-life
