Young and free, something you'll never be
A childhood's end, it's lunacy
Pure dictation, they don't listen
And you're just waiting for what you're missing
Welcome to your nightmare
You just can't walk away
It's time for you, to choose, your fate
You just can't let it lay
Welcome to your nightmare
Your whole life's on the way
Today
You're no good, misunderstood, A.I.R.
All their hopes and visions of what they want you to be
Crucial times, made up minds, A.I.R.
So high and mighty, though much too blind too see
Who are you gonna live your life for?
Conformity will trap you like a locked door
Independence means owning your decision's
Authority will put your soul in prison
Welcome to your nightmare
You just can't walk away
It's time for you, to choose, your fate
You just can't let it lay
Welcome to your nightmare
Your whole life's on the way
Today
You're no good, misunderstood, A.I.R.
All their hopes and visions of what they want you to be
Crucial times, made up minds, A.I.R.
So high and mighty, though much too blind too see
Fight, go insane, there's no one else to blame
Stop, their influence, you can't give them a chance
Break, right through the wall, that separates us all
Start, your second life, without their hands in sight
You got your pride you got your visions
Don't subside, don't ever give in
Don't compromise just keep on grinning
The games they play you just keep on winning
Keep on winning
Keep on winning
Keep on winning
A.I.R.
Shut up, don¹t pass the blame
The same god-damn thing just the name¹s have changed
On the day you were busted your forgot the line
Don¹t do the crime if you can¹t do the time
An animal¹s acting instinctively
Glorified murderer, insanity
Do you think I¹d kill you just count to one
You¹re the coward, with the gun
Yeah, you thought you knew me
Yeah, you hardly knew me
You don¹t know me
I know I shouldn¹t care
My crazy senses of right and wrong that can¹t be made to break this,
break this, break this
I see something wrong and fix it with my hands
I walk a thin blue line, this cross I came to bear
So now you¹re dead well wha¹ dya know
And am I sorry no, I don¹t think so
They wanted sympathy now that¹s a bit much
How much did you show, how much
Take the value for one human life
And place it all right down on a roll of the dice
And a one, two, three for the pain you bring
I¹m the bird without the left wing
Yeah, you thought you knew me
Yeah, you hardly knew me
You don¹t know me
I know I shouldn¹t care
My crazy sense of right and wrong that can¹t be made to break this,
break this, break this
I see something wrong and fix it with my hands
I walk a thing blue line, this cross I came to bear
Random acts of senseless, random acts of senseless
Random acts of senseless, random acts of senseless
Violence
I see something wrong and I fix it with my hands
I walk a thin blue line, this cross I came to bear
I see something wrong and I fix it with my hands
I walk a thin blue line and I¹ll be the one who laughs when,
You die
Best friend I never had
Play me to the point of pushing me too far away
I can only say whatever, ambivalent to your game
You can pretend to the mirror, it¹s the lie you tell yourself
And I won¹t walk on eggshells that¹s a dance for someone else
Dive inside your blackest stare
The one that¹s saying do you dare
Screaming that you¹re scared
You the tallest soul
With the shortest self-esteem
Painted as the victim
Who¹s split between the bearns
It doesn¹t seem to matter
It¹s nothing
Dead a dream is dying
It¹s nothing
Best friend I never had
