lyrics

Everybody knows the world ain’t right
Down on your knees, get up and fight
Everybody dreams black and white
Blood on the streets, dead of the night

And everybody knows words won’t make right
Try me again. Fall on the knife.

Everybody sings the same old song
You’re so out of tune. Just whistle along
Everybody sees. Star burn bright.
Last one to leave turn out the light

And everybody knows words won’t make right
Try me again. Fall on the knife.

The next best thing
That you ever had
Burn it all to dust
Rain ashes on my head

Everybody knows the world ain’t right
Down on your knees, get up and fight

And everybody knows words won’t make right
Try me again. Fall on the knife.

The next best thing
That you ever had
Burn it all to dust
Rain ashes on my head

Everybody sees. Star burn bright.
Last one to leave turn out the light.
