Strike Anywhere Instinct
So I'll write these words now
for you my friend
here after all this time
we may never sing this one
it's just here as a light to help you
When the power goes out
like the moments you might
shake yourself awake
from those horrible dreams
the only ones we never talk about
The glare of madness
in grown-ups' eyes
the rage that takes
the whole room
by surprise
this vicious trap
the male cultural disguise
is the one we fight against
We Go, We Go, We Go
the one we fight against
We Go, We Go, We Go
So I'll write these words now
for you my friend
here after all this time
we may never sing this one
it's just here
as a light to help you
The sickness
the silence
as you hide in your room
wishing so hard they'd forget
you're alive
but
you're alive
so the sight of broken things
won't mean a pound of flesh
and the time you speak up
won't be repaid by fists
praying not to be missed
the night you ran away
We Go, We Go, We Go
the night you ran away
We Go, We Go, We Go
So I'll write these words now
for you my friend
here after all this time
we may never sing this one
it's just here
as a light to help you
This violence passes for
an apology
the trickle down
in our society
This is for the peace
you never had
This is for the peace
we never had
This is for the peace
we never had
How do we guard the door
against your Dad?
We go, We go, We go
the night you ran away
We go, We go, We go
So I'll write these words now
for you my friend
here after all this time
we may never sing this one
it's just here
as a light to help you
