Lyrics
You the great pretenders
Blood to paint your pictures
While you're stepping over
Fallen people lying in the streets
You the great offenders
Only your views matter
While your heart grows colder
I wish that you could open up and feel
For a while see if you can take it
Feel you're alive and this is all part of it
Feel, could it be that we're all afraid
'Cause it feels like a rainy day parade
We the great believers
Blood is legal tender
And I will not surrender
What it was our fathers died to bear
We the people stated
Not negotiated
Just to be forgotten
I wish that you could open up and see
For a while see if you can take it
See, you're alive and this is all part of it
See, can't you see that we're all afraid
'Cause it seems like a rainy day parade
What I see is all too real
What I need is what you steal
And all I reap is what you take
Upon my back on which you break
And I just wish that we could rise above and feel
For a while see if you can take it
Feel, you're alive and this is all part of it
Feel, could it be that we're all afraid
'Cause it feels like a rainy day parade
