if he had a say

so loving but always left loveless
so caring but left an orphan to the world
colourblind to every shade of grey
he cant say goodbye to the day
and the ashes of his sanity
remain to be
for everyone but him to see

if we were better men he wouldnt have to change the way he sees
if he had a say something would be changed today

hey-oh we were all told
better men make the world grow cold
so we built up the fires
around the black things we call our souls
and money doesnt make the world go round
doesnt make the lifestream flow
are just part of the stories poor men tell
to anyone that will listen
to justify this ****ed up thing most of us call existence


up to his eyes in enemies
that dont run dont hide from anything
they sneak in through the window
and creep around the corner
but he doesnt see a thing
while the smoke is suffocating him
seeing through a pane of innocence
thats binded to his sight
looks like this ****ed up worlds ****ed up again
its failed to teach him anything

our words are cheap and our actions useless
praying that up there god is stupid
everybody here is looking for the answers
thats one more step in the wrong direction
somone out there just broke your wall down
so now youve just pissed right into the gene pool
its human nature to protect our hyde
but what will pride mean when the world has died
when religion tells you to wait for a rapture
its just one more step towards divine departure
if he had a say no one would be left today


hey-oh we were all told
better men make the world grow cold
so we built up the fires
around the black things we call our souls
and money doesnt make the world go round
doesnt make the lifestream flow
are just part of the stories poor men tell
to anyone that will listen
to justify this ****ed up thing most of us call existence

staring blindly into the sun
he cant be friends with anyone
when flaws are what's been witnessed
their blaming his existence
but all he sees is an angel dying
watching their minds rot and now hes crying
so those who think they have morals hide under the covers
whats that brushing your leg?
whats hiding in your bed?
either your morals grew teeth or your gonna wake up dead


and finally we change as the raptures getting nearer
but god knows
were still
two faced
no faced
lieing
cheating
DIRTY FAKERS
all the sinners should have been stopped
by the innocent bystanders that liked to watch
now those who realise all hope is lost
take a look at the real cost




hey-oh we were all told
better men make the world grow cold
so we built up the fires
around the black things we call our souls
and money doesnt make the world go round
doesnt make the lifestream flow
are just part of the stories poor men tell
to anyone that will listen
to justify this ****ed up thing most of us call existence



hey-oh we were all told
better men make the world grow cold
so we built up the fires
burnt our souls black then called it art
and money doesnt make the world go round
doesnt make the lifestream flow
are just part the stories that couldve been made true
by anyone that would listen
and this ****ed up thing we call existence
couldve just been called life

( we were so lucky he didnt speak out because he couldnt see the crimes agiansst him)
its just life
( and now hes gone only god sheds a tear as he sees his image fray at the edges)
they're just words
(**** you **** me **** everything we used to be, **** the heavens and then burn out hell and **** the way we treated ourselves)

why is that the shadow man has a better chance of being saved than the men who sought to hunt him down and stop the pain he brought our way


if we were better men he wouldnt have to change the way he sees
if he had a say something would be changed today





ok its done now

a ****in awsome song bro!!!!

thanks oli
