Bystanders

Give me your hands
 And I'll try to believe
 In making amends
 With the powers that be
 The weight of the world
 As we wait around
 Tries to have its way
 Wants to hold us down
 And though it will try
 While we stand by
 Once we're gone
 They'll sing our song
 But they'll forget our names
 And the words will be wrong
 And the tears we cried
 And the wars we fought
 Just a memory
 Gone
 Like a pack of wolves
 Trying to catch our tails
 Never able to win
 But can we really fail
 A dose of distrust
 And some apathy
 And we should probably care
 But it's not our scene
 And though we won't try
 We'll still stand by
 And once we're gone
 They'll sing our song
 But they'll forget our names
 And the words will be wrong
 And the tears we cried
 And the wars we fought
 Just a memory
 Gone
 Once we're gone
 They'll sing our song
 But they'll forget our names
 And the words will be wrong
 And the tears we cried
 And the wars we fought
 Just a memory
 Gone
 Let it fall on me my darling
 Let it all rain down
 You're the one I need my darling
 Cutting through those clouds
 Let it fall on me my darling
 Let it all rain down
 You're the one I need my darling
 Cutting through those clouds
