Streetlight Manifesto - Would You Be Impressed? Lyrics
Would you be upset if I told you we were dying?And every cure they gave us was a lie?Oh! They mean it when they say we're dead and doomedAnd every single symptom brings us closer to the tombAnd who will take the credit for our swift impending fallBecause it's not my faultWould you be impressed if I said that the dead would help us countingEvery single moment that we waste our time?All the time we're spending vaccinating this diseaseI just get dizzy when I think of all the ways we try to hide our maladiesWe wine, we dine, and everything is fineBecause it's not my faultNot you're upset because you finally got the notionThat everything you had is spinning down the drainOh! Do you mean it when you beg and pray and plead?Your "Giveittomegiveittomegiveittomegiveittome all those things we need"And what, pray tell, will you whimper when your number will be calledYou'll say "It's not my fault"Go! Now! The others they'll await youAnd every single one among the lot of you will have your turnAi Ai Ai Oh Oh ohLike moths that fly into the flame it always ends up soYou scream: "Not me! Take anybody else!Because it's not my fault! "I had a dream last night where everyone was tryingSubconsciously I knew it was a lieAnd when I woke I knew it was time to prayTo make amends before the end, before my judgment dayI looked around, I stood alone, I knew what I had to sayI said "It's all my fault"
