Nobody Wins In The End

(album: Because They Can - 1995)

Your first hello, the darkness is broken
You're scared, I know, the wheels are in motion
It's opening night for the show of your lifetime, my friend
The days roll by, you live for tomorrow
Against the tide, in an ocean of sorrow
Well, is it all worth it if nobody wins in the end?

We learn as a child to carry the pain and hide it away in the dark
We've all lived this charade, but I don't wanna play anymore

Give me love for the rest of my life
Give me hope for the rest of my days
I'm tired of watching the world slip away
There's one thing you must understand
When there's no forgiveness then nobody wins in the end

You've come of age (you're a slave), a slave and a soldier
You fight the rage (every day), but you heart's growing colder
You're starting to wonder if nobody wins in the end
You know, I'd rather die than keep living the lie we've become

Give me love for the rest of my life
Give me hope for the rest of my days
I'm tired of watching the world slip away
There's one thing you must understand
When there's no forgiveness then nobody wins in the end

I wanna break free! I won't let these fools hold me down!
I'm gonna spread my wings and fly

It's time to go, the curtain is falling
The final show, a new play is calling
Just one thing to give you; take it or leave it, my friend
If we don't come together, then nobody wins in the end
