Pride

People don't know
Where to go
These days
I can't sleep
For thinking about you
It's been building up
Inside me for years

Survival is our code
Success is our religion
With our heads hung in shame
And our hearts glowing with pride
We've found a means to an end and
Oh my God it thrills us to death

We'd like to know how you live your life
We'd like to know you're still safe
And sound after the sanctuaries
Of empty words have fallen to cemeteries
We'll like to know
And time has taught us
More than one lesson
So we'll never make
The same mistakes again

If saying so little had
Ever meant so much
May I go crazy
Another part of me every time
Shakes my soul and burns to the bottom
Of every glass parched dry
By too many years
Brittle cracked age
Falls like dust
If you think you've found
Your chance wishing on a coin
Good luck to you
Good luck to all those
Like you
