Select language to translate this lyric
Restless with the endless hurt of waiting
Trembling with the fear of wasting
It all on someone else,
All on something else.
Somehow, I always knew theyâd come for us.
But even if this sad world caught us,
Why come running with your hands up?
Yeah, you still play.
The dream doesnât die, it just walks away.
And you donât chase,
Hope it stays near.
It will never disappear.
If you can just keep an eye on it,
It wonât disappearâ¦
But itâs never looked farther from here.
Then maybe I wouldnât be hanging around
Here in Old Watertown,
Pushing pallets around for someone else.
Lately, Iâve been crawling through the wires,
Whispering as the Hurt transpires,â¨Is anybody trying to get us out of here?
You still say,
The dream doesnt die, it just walks away.
You donât chase and pray it
Does not disappear.
Itâs never looked farther than here
Wishing we could go backâ¨To when I felt something, anything
I need a reaction
My soul satisfaction
Because I see the writing on the wallâ¦
In the walls of the hospitals,
Weâre screaming things that canât be proved.
How this whole thing was unstoppable,
We were burdened with its proof.
Like how the beating comes free for all,
But youâll pay for every bruise.
You didnt choose, still we lose.
In the walls of the hospital,
Screamed the ones they couldnât use
We canât hold âem responsible,
But, we canât let them run loose.
Chain gang baby playing rockânâroll
And the mischeif that ensued.
So please, one last salute
For the way that we lose.
We been knocked around,
We been kicked down.
When the floor gave out,
We found common ground.
