The Business of Living

[Verse 1]
We need everyone's attention
There are words that must be said
We will never bite our tongues again
Because everything they hold is the greatest lie
And I watch the sun go down over an empty street
But no one of us sleeps tonight
We are the ones who must make a stand
As it all comes down to this
We, we are the ones who must make a stand
We, we are the ones

[Pre-Chorus]
And even though we at times seem helpless
We must always strive forward

[Chorus 1]
On the brightest path i recall your name
Yet the shadows settles in for the very first time
Hands are shaking cold. heartbeat's racing fast
But tonight it's heart and soul versus none

[Verse 2]
Don't, don't lose hope
This isn't over yet, we are staring at the beginning
We will not stand for the business of the living
C-C-C-Come on and dance away
Another year of disaster, oh
C-C-C-Come on and dance away
Another year of disaster

[Verse 3]
We need everyone to listen up to the frailty words that we say
Bring back our fucking strength
Pick up yourself in a world filled with hate
We are the hope! We are the cure!
We are the cure!
We are the cure!

[Bridge]
We've been sleeping for ages
But never once did we dream of this
That the bitter taste of disillusion is just enough to keep us underneath the surface
Now I can't change my past, but who the fuck are you to predict my future?
That the shadows we cast define our soul purpose
Where therefore our wings must be broken
It's in our hands and we need everyone's attention
That hand in hand we will walk these streets with more pride and courage than ever before
It's in our-
Hand in hand, we will walk these streets with more pride and courage than ever before

[Chorus 2]
On the brightest path I recall your name
Yet the shadows settles in for the very first time
Hands are shaking cold. heartbeat's racing fast
Tonight it's heart and soul versus, versus, versus none
Days like these won't last forever

[Outro]
Let's go!
