Late nights
alone under street lights
can't cope now with these times
it feels like forever
my friends
can't seem to make ends
so what do we have to spend?
just to feel better
tell me what function I provide
in this rigid machine
just a hand back on the line
if we've got no spirit left to fight
can we defend anything?
or is that part of the design?
I know there's more to life
than a title and a dollar sign
my, my when the time is here
all that will just disappear
these thoughts got me paralyzed
and every night when I close my eyes
these pictures they get so clear
I'm calling
I'm calling for some bravery
some magic
a fix for my craving
for something to happen
I'm calling on heroes
in regular clothing
the mission is clear now
we've finished composing
we're calling for change.
