How did you know
How did you know this story
That I never wrote?
I should have known
I should have known you'd see right through
These lies that I told
Every move I make just seems to take
Me further 'way from you
How did you know
How did you know this secret
That I've never told?
I should have known
I should have known I couldn't live
On words that choke
I've seen the face of every fading dream
And it's kept me asleep so long
Oh no, here we go
It's the same ol' story we've been told
About the man who never raised his hand
To volunteer for you
Volunteer for you
Where do we go when in this failure town
Comes to blows? We haven't learned this lesson by now?
And there are those who would burn us down
But the ones who'll save us are the ones we've brought up now
Oh no, here we go
It's the same ol' story we've been told
About the man who never raised his hand
To volunteer for you
Volunteer for you
