They'll find his body in the gutter
Suicide, they'll say, but it was murder
They will blame it, on his brain disorder
A few condolences, then everything's over
They'll find her body by the harbour
Tragedy, they'll say, but it was murder
They will declare, she was a subverter
Just a few prayers, then call her a liar

People start to reclaim
Without compromising
But the fear, the shame
Is truly paralyzing
Go back inside
Don't open the door
Let them fight
For what you stand for

We are hiding and
We hear, under our sheets
The cries, the screams
In the streets
Cars burning
Order is collapsing
It might be time
But we're still conforming

People start to pour out
By the thousands
It is time, no doubt
But you can't decide, and
Stay inside
And bar the door
Let them fight
For what you stand for

As we're still hiding
We hear, under our sheets
The cries, the screams
In the streets
Boots on the pavement
The sound of enslavement
You might be next
Just be patient

They'll find their bodies in the water
Accident, they'll say, but it was murder
They'll grab their guns, they'll draw satire
Because blind obedience, is all they require
They'll shoot their bodies by the border
Invasion, they'll say, but it was murder
Vision of corpses tangled in barbed wire
Would they be enough, to start the fire?

Somewhere, sometimes
Written between the lines
We will see the sunshine and
Everything will be
Somewhere, something
It won't be for nothing
Just before the sunshine
And everything will be
Fine

In our dreams we see
The faces of the ones who fell
And those who came after to tell
It's not over till we're all free
Everybody dies in vain
Either the cautious or the bold
For all the stories they could have told
Were filled with hope we can't retain
