Streetlight Manifesto - If And When We Rise Again lyrics

Don't you come to me with all your color-coded quotes Everybody's laughing but they never ever get my jokes Fool, you're a tool, a sheep And it's obvious to everyone but company you keep And don't you squint at me because your childhood was the pits Every single one of us have trodden through our sh** Oh, and I know you're shrewd Because I smell it on your clothes it's in everything you do Falling, fallen, we all fall down It only really matters how we stand our ground And if and when we rise to our feet again We'll be on our own Everything we built (it's gone) And every one around (is stunned) We just sit here staring blankly And everything goes numb Lord, if I felt a thing I could wrap my mind around this And prevent our getting singed Please excuse my enemies I think they do not know I will gladly self destruct if they leave me alone friend, that's the end of us Because you're behind in empathy and overdue on trust Calmly, calmly and patiently We've seen all the evidence But still cannot believe and if and when we rise to our feet again We'll be on our own Somehow, someway, we persevere The questions on our lips fall on deafened ears and if and when we rise to our feet again We'll be on our own
