Now look at you all standing proud   Dressed to kill, talking loud   Guitar in your hand   You see sex and violence, love and rage   Still survive in this day and age   And you?re sick about that, go ahead      Life?s gonna take it so break these chains   Come alive, the world's your stage      Love and pain and sacrifice   Flesh and blood all the songs of life   You said I will not go quietly in the night      Now look at you out on the streets   Your mom and dad think you?re a freak   Don?t understand you   You wear your heart on your sleeve   Seems all the people that you meet   They criticize you too      But just stand tall and face the pain   You will not fall for the masquerade      Love and pain and sacrifice   Flesh and blood, all the songs of life   You said I will not go quietly in the night      The losing clowns, that try to drag you down   But stand there, yeah   Your life's getting stranger   You know you can?t change it   Destiny?s a callin? you, nothing you can do      Now look at you all actin? strange   I wonder what the winds of change have done to you   Is it what you did or what you seen   Or all the things you could not fix that affected you?   Just you sing in      Love and pain and sacrifice   Flesh and blood, all the songs of life   You said I will not go quietly in the night   Wrong or right      Love and pain and sacrifice   Flesh and blood, all the songs of life   You said I will not go quietly in the night   You got to stand and fight
