Bridge:
   C minorCm           AbAb
Don't smile at me with your sideways
      F minorFm
Two-faced enemy to criticize he said she said

All these years are left for dead
      AbAb
How can we live our lives?
             C minorCm
How can we live our lives now?
F minorFm    C minorCm
This is oppression

We can run away and build a wall of isolation, desperation

But they won't be there to answer the call
 AbAb
Who is left now to catch your fall
   C minorCm          Bb majorBb

   AbAb
They won't be there, they won't be there
