Life, as we know Is full of gloom Oppress the masses We'll lead to our doom We want the right To live or die Can't take away What we feel inside ♪ Like empty shadows Afflict our brains Envision dreams Just to ease the pain There's more to life Than to satisfy I ask myself For the reason why If it were my way I'd deliver us from this hell If it were my way ♪ If ever there comes a day ♪ Renovations blown away Is there no end To this endless war The fear of man Is now what's in store We look at life as a memory ♪ Long live the dreams That they took from me If it were my way I'd deliver us from this hell If it were my way
