These cannonballs are crashing around me   I see the writing on the fucking wall   It's been like this for so long   And the change is coming at a crawl   I went bang bang yeah ya got me   When the last chances slipped away   I won't rest like all the others   'Till I've said all I can say      Ghosts of the past, they haunt me   I recognize where I was wrong   I was boiling up with anger   But I didn't know where it belonged   Though this cyicism stops us   From joining in on the parade   Do you dare to take your chances   Are you feeling lucky today      If we're right, we gotta fight   We can't afford to give it away   In the worst of times, the battle crys   Just get lost in the fray   Fall back, get in on trak   Forget all the mistakes of the past   You know it's gotten so bad   The time is now to say it      The fog has started lifting slowly   You see a little more every day   We've always had the numbers   We were sleeping now we're awake   And it's a never ending story   The more that we give the less we get   I have only asked for honesty   In exchange for blood and sweat
