You saw what was coming
You could have resisted everything
It was our time to get up
And that was our day to win

You are victims of your own apathy
Victims of passive democracy
Another chance came across
And making a stand against was in your hands

It was the time to get up and shout
To use your vote and to choose the left side
You are victims of your own apathy
Victims of passive democracy

The victims we know so well
They shine in your eyes when they kiss and tell
Strange places we never see
But you're always there like a ghost in my dream

And I keep on telling you
Please don't do the things you do
When you do those things, pull my puppet strings
I have that strangest void for you

We love and we never tell
What places our hearts in the wishing well
Love leads us into the stream
And it's sink or swim like it's always been

And I keep on loving you
It's the only thing to do
When the angel sings there are greater things
Can I give them all to you?

Oho
Oooh

Pull the strings of emotion
Take a ride into unknown pleasure
Feel like a child on a dark night
Wishing there was some kind of heaven

I could be warm with your smiling
Hold out your hand for a while
The victims, we know them so well
So well

The victims we know so well
They shine in your eyes when they kiss and tell
Strange places we never see
But you're always there like a ghost in my dream

And I keep on telling you
Please don't do the things you do
When you do those things, pull my puppet strings
I have that strangest void for you

Oho
Ooohooo

Show my heart some devotion
Push aside those that whisper never
Feel like a child on a dark night
Wishing we could spend it together

I could be warm with your smiling
Hold out your hand for a while
The victims, we know them so well
So well

Tell me
How long until all of this breaks me
Cause I always knew that this was ending
Everything that I tried to keep from falling
And now it's down, it's down, it's down

Inside my head where the world is spinning round
I am begging you please
Let me go away

Tell me
Why can't you make yourself release me
Cause I always knew that this would take me underneath
Everything that I tried to keep is drowning
And now it's down, it's down, it's down

Inside my head where the world is spinning round
I am begging you please
Let me go away

I never knew that i was down
For so long before
The world was spinning round
I am begging you please
Let me go away

We are the victims now
We are the victims now

Cause we are falling
Apart again

Now

Tell me
How long until all of this breaks me
Cause I always knew that this would kill me
Everything that I tried to keep from losing
And now it's down, it's down, it's down

Inside my head where the world is spinning round
Let me go away

I never knew that i was down for so long before the world was spinning round
I am begging you please
Let me go away

Inside my head where the world is spinning round
Away
Let me go away

We are the victims now
We are the victims now

Downtown I walk
Through New York City so hot
The summer swelter melting
Got things on my mind right now
In the alleys that I take
They just don't give up an inch
I turned and saw it all
I watched him fall
I tried to catch him
But they knocked me out cold too
Babylon he cried
The cost in flesh and blood is rising high

Things are falling apart it all seems
Bleeding in the gutter
The waste of random acts of violence
Where's the Savior to rescue our dreams?
Desperation's crawling
We're victims of a world that's gone so wrong

Hours later when I woke
I was lying in some darkened basement rescue mission
They're tending to my needs and wounds
They were such a sorry lot
The very bottom of the social ladder
I just caught myself before I cried
They've nothing at all
But they're the only ones there to help

Eden's sin's alive
Stalking me
Stalking everyone

Things are falling apart it all seems
Tears that speak in volumes
The eyes of all these hopeless people
Where's the Savior to rescue our dreams?
Desperation's crawling
On victims of a power hungry world!

Didn, t know she was crying
Until now as she turns to look at me
She said boy o' boy you bring tears to my eyes
I said what, she said
Boy o' boy you bring tears to my eyes
Bob Marley said
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look
But little did he know that
Eventually the enemy
Will stand aside and look
While we slash and kill
Our own brothers
Knowing that already
They are the victims of the situation

Still licking wounds from brutality
Still licking wounds from humiliation
She said all these words and the
Wrinkles on her face became
Perfect trails for the tears and she said;

Chorus: (x3)
We are the victims everytime
We got double trouble everytime

She took me outside to the churchyard
Showed me graves on the ground
and she said;
There lies a man who fought for equality
There lies a boy who died in his struggle
Can all these heroes die in vain
While we slash and kill our own brothers
Knowing that already they are the
Victims of the situation

Still licking wounds from brutality
Still licking wounds from humiliation

Chorus till fade
