You can't always sit on the fence,
Sometimes you've got to attack or defend.
You can't always move with the tide,
Sometimes you've got to make a stand, take sides.
Listening is quite nice,
But you've also got to open your mind's eyes.
Close the door on lies,
Maybe then you could hear their true cries.
So remember when you're talking,
Sermoning at me,
I too have thoughts
That yearn to be free
I can't go on pretending
That I'm not me
My soul is hurting
But you just don't see
That I
I can't go on living these lies.
When you realize I can take sides,
Maybe then you could hear my true cries.
