 Its such a tired game

 Will it ever stop

 How will this all play out

 Upside out of my mouth

 By now we should know

 How to communicate instead of coming to blows

 We're on a roll

And there ain't no stopping us now

We're burning under control

Isn't it strange how

We're all burning under the same sun

 By now we say its a war for peace

 Its the same old game

 But do we really want to play?

 We could close our eyes its still there

 We could say its us against them

 We can try but nobody wins

 Gravity has got a hold on us all

 We try to put it out

 But its a growing flame

 Using fear as fuel

 Burning down our name

 And it wont take too long

 Cause words are burning same

 And who we gunna blame now?

 And oh, Its such a crying crying crying shame

 Its such a crying crying crying shame

 Its such a crying crying crying shame, shame, shame

Solo

By now

 It's starting to show

 A number of people are numbers who aint coming home

 I can close my eyes its still there

 Close my mind be alone

 Close my heart and not care

 But gravity has got a hold on us all

 It's a terrific price to pay

 But in the true sense of the word

 Are we using what we've learned?

 In the true sense of the word

 Are we losing what we were?

 Its such a tired game

 Will it ever stop?

 Is not for me to say

 And is it in our blood?

 Or is it just our fate?

 And how will this all play out

 Upside out of my mouth

 And who we gonna blame?

On and on

 Its such a crying crying crying shame

 Its such a crying crying crying shame

 Its such a crying crying crying shame shame shame
