Marillion - Living In Fear

Our wide eyes
Aren't naive
They're a product of a conscious decision
The welcoming smile is the new Cool
The key left in the outside of the unlocked door
Isn't forgetfulness
It's a challenge to change your heart
There's always a price to pay
Living in f e a r is so very dear
Can you really afford it?

We've decided to risk melting our guns as a show of strength
As a show of strength
We've decided to risk melting our guns as a show of strength
As a show of strength

Our wide eyes are not so weak
They're a product of a hard-won wisdom
So we will turn the other cheek
The apple pie cooling on the windowsill
Is such a welcome change from
Living in f e a r
Year after year after year
Can we really afford it?
Can you really afford it?

We decided to start melting our guns as a show of strength
As a show of strength
We decided to leave the doors unlocked, our face unlocked
As a show of strength

We're not green
We're just pleasant
We're not green
We're just pleasant
We're not green
We're just pleasant
We're not green
We're just pleasant
We're not green
We're just pleasant
We're not green
(We've decided to start melting our guns as a show of strength
As a show of strength)

Our wide eyes aren't naive
They're a product of a kind of exhaustion
Will there come a time when we believe
The only way ahead is to put down our arms
When we finally know
The bitter consequence of not doing so
There's such a price to pay
For living this way
Living this way

We don't invite crime
We don't invite crime
(We don't invite crime)
(We don't invite crime)

Will you let one lost soul change what we stand for? (We don't invite crime)
I don't think so. (We don't invite crime)

What a waste of time (yeah, yeah!)
The Great Wall of China (yeah, yeah!)
What a waste of time
The Maginot line and
The Great Wall of China (yeah, yeah!)
Что за трата времени
Берлинская стена
What a waste of time (yeah, yeah!)
Die Berliner Mauer (yeah, yeah!)
What a waste of time
What a waste of time

Yeah, yeah!
