but still we trudge on just the same
B C#m A
these colors run then leave a stain
they blacken our once honest name

over the fury and the fire
B C#m A
how many times can we tell you that we
B
are not like you , we see right through
A
your poor disguise that fails to fool
B A
the wary eye that is trained on you
