I look around me
I see human beings but no humanity
What's goin' on
Where did we go wrong?
I don't understand you
I'm scared of you
Last night she got hit with a broken bottle
Her mother's eyes turned down as she struggled
To get the words out
To get the hurt out
Maybe that's why we're violent
'Cause their silence is too loud
He sat in the corner and cried
'Cause his sister's smile was stolen that night
And he reached out his hand
And in his bag he found restless peace
And his favourite friend
Do you blame me
For taking this cigarette
And lighting it
As if it was the last raw egg on this earth
Today and every day
And thinking it will burn the pain away
Do you blame me
For saying screw you, you fool
For thinking this is what we're meant to do
And what we should go through to be strong
'Cause that's what we should be
We should be strong
We should be strong
She walked into the room
Underwear stained and burnt
She asked why
Why always cigarettes and wine
When conversations are empty
And hearts singin' fearful songs
She couldn't understand
Why while he was holding her hand
And sayin' forever they could be
That at the same time
He was taking someone else's virginity
And she repeated forever they could
Forever they could be he said
Forever they could
Forever they could be he said
Forever they could
Forever they could be you and me
So do you blame me
For taking this cigarette
And lighting it
As if it was the last raw egg on this earth
Today and every day
And thinking it will burn the pain away
Do you blame me
For saying screw you, you fool
For thinking this is what we're meant to do
And what we should go through to be strong
'Cause that's what we should be
We should be strong
We should be strong
Ah
Ah
Oeh
Ah
Oeh
Ah...
