Strike Zone

(album: Keep It Up - 1983)

You tell your self you're not the one
You won't get hurt when the damage is done
You tell your self it won't happen to you
It's the same old story there's nothing new

Can't be the one to lose
You're only wearing some one else's shoes
Can't you read it it's up on the wall
How can some one so big be so small

You're nothing with out your friends
They'll be with you till the bitter end
Your nothing and you'll find out
What this world is all about

Standing in a strike zone running with the pack
Standing in a strike zone ain't no use in turn' back

You want no war it's the chance you take nothing easier
And the ice woun't break
When the sun comes out at the end of the night
You woun't escape from the blinding light

Freedom goes but who to blame
See the madness burning in their brains
No where to run no place to hide
Your all alone on a one way ride

You're nothin with out your friends
They'll be with you till the bitter end
Your nothin'and you'll find out
What this world is all about

Standing in the strike zone running with the pack
Standing in a strike zone ain't no use in turning back
Standing in a strike zone there's a panic in the streets
Standing in a strike zone ain't no golden parks retreat

You tell your self you're not the one
You woun't get hurt when the damage is done
You tell your self it woun't to you
It's the same old story there's nothing new

Can't be the one to lose
Can't you read it it's up on the wall
How can some one so big be so small

Standing in a strike zone
There's a panic in the streets
Standing in a strike zone
Ain't no golden parks retreat
Standing in a strike zone
You got a ticket for a front row seat

Strike zone running with the pack
Standing in the strike zone
Ain't no use in turning back

You're only wearing some one else's shoes
