lyrics

You are the fire and I am the ash
I am the thief and you are the cash, yeah
You are the brick and I am the bone
I am the stick and you are the stone

Oh these are tough times, I know
Don’t open your eyes, stay close
Oh these are tough times, I know
Don’t open your eyes, keep them closed

You are the paper and I am the glue
I am the pavement and you are the shoe
You are the vision and I am the blur
I am the sickness and you are the cure, alright

Oh these are tough times, I know
Don’t open your eyes, stay close
Oh these are tough times, I know
Don’t open your eyes, keep them closed

What are we all still doing here
We have to fight if we want change
They say the grass is greener on the other side
but all that I see is black and grey
What are we all still doing here
We have to fight if we want change
They say the grass is greener on the other side
but all that I see is black and grey
(X2)
