Cassius, -

Past my window, out in the street
 Life makes short work of all I see
 Men take the change from beggars
 Tight bound in sheets
 Red and blue, the useless sirens scream
 ♪
 The song of masses, passing outside
 All inciting the fifth of July
 When guns for hire open fire, blind against the dawn
 When the knights in iron took the pawn
 You and I, out into the night
 Held within the line that they've drawn
 ♪
 As I went they're all beside us in silence
 As if unaffected amid the violence
 Ooh, are we also tamed?
 I was in a river, as if in water
 Wife, a son, a son, a son, and a daughter
 Ooh, are we also tamed?
 ♪
 I walked home, no words to say
 Cassius, one month gone on his way
 And who will lead us and who remains to die?
 By a thread, drop my head to cry
 ♪
 As I went they're all beside us in silence
 As if unaffected amid the violence
 Ooh, are we also tamed?
 I was in a river as if in water
 Wife, a son, a son, a son, and a daughter
 Ooh, are we also tamed?
 Ooh
 Ooh
 Ooh
