[00:20.38]
[00:26.09]Awake at the bottom
[00:29.03]Of the barrels we cry out
[00:31.92]So ashamed of our tears that
[00:35.35]We blame only ourselves
[00:37.59]
[00:38.16]That's when they win
[00:39.41]They keep us convinced
[00:40.75]To lift up our chins
[00:42.31]These playing fields are level
[00:43.97]We all have a chance
[00:45.34]With that they dismiss
[00:46.82]The fast lanes they row
[00:48.38]What it takes
[00:49.25]It depends on who you know
[00:52.04]
[00:52.54]Or where you came from
[00:53.91]Whose daughter are you?
[00:55.39]Whose fortunate son?
[00:56.90]Will it so to stick up our bones
[00:59.96]And piece from the letters
[01:01.80]How we settled the crimes
[01:03.95]
[01:06.76]Is this an over-reaching arm
[01:10.74]Or is this compassion?
[01:12.91]Is this a handout undeserved
[01:16.74]Or a just reparation?
[01:20.23]A just reparation
[01:22.24]
[01:24.33]Away from the towers
[01:27.52]High above the ceiling tombs
[01:30.47]Tell themselves
[01:31.94]That they've earned this
[01:33.69]Like working hard
[01:35.30]Or playing by the rules
[01:37.74]
[01:38.24]But this is only part true
[01:40.06]A dangerous trick
[01:41.58]Played on me and you
[01:42.67]And so like a practical joke
[01:46.14]We put on these bootstraps
[01:48.00]So high that they broke
[01:49.96]
[01:52.84]Is this an over-reaching arm
[01:56.86]Or is this compassion?
[01:59.00]Is this a handout undeserved
[02:02.88]Or a just reparation?
[02:05.03]
[02:05.57]And like a single domino
[02:08.27]That falls while the rest stay vertical
[02:11.31]Will you fear these empty fairy tales
[02:15.18]Or will you believe them?
[02:17.58]
[02:20.53]AND IF FEAR'S A GAME
[02:22.29]YOU BETTER PRAY
[02:26.78]THAT THIS SLEEPING GIANT NEVER WAKES
[02:29.55]
[02:30.01]If we just take a step back
[02:33.12]A bigger picture we might view
[02:35.89]Perhaps the man in the gutter
[02:38.96]Is not so different from you
[02:41.55]
[02:42.05]Come in, all of the cold
[02:48.43]Forget all that you know
[02:52.81]Because there's always been room
[02:56.36]By the fire for you, oh
[03:00.50]Come in, all of the cold
[03:06.72]
[03:14.65]Will you believe them?
[03:16.86]Is this an over-reaching arm
[03:20.39]Or is this compassion?
[03:23.28]Is this a handout undeserved
[03:26.35]Or a just reparation?
[03:29.31]And like a single domino
[03:31.29]That falls while the rest stay vertical
[03:34.87]Will you fear these empty fairy tales
[03:38.93]Or will you believe them?
