Promises made out of fright

Hands held tight all is calm tonight

I came here looking for a friend

To start again and it's goodbye my love

And everything went wrong today

I close my eyes but you won't go away

And we were raised to do what's right

And not react to whatever's thrown at us

And these games that we play...

Together we try and together we cry

It's us against the world

The hurt that they give 'cause we're licensed to live

It's us against the world

A gunshot echo in the night

No end in sight

I'm in the hands of luck

Came here for some peace of mind

Would you be kind

And help me on my way

And everything went wrong today

I close my eyes but it won't go away

And we were raised to do what's right

And not react to whatever's thrown at us

And these wars that we wage...

Together we try and together we cry

It's us against the world

The hurt that they give 'cause we're licensed to live

It's us against the world

Sister and brother father and mother

Something has got to give can't go much further

And these games that we play...

Together we try and together we cry

It's us against the world

The hurt that they give 'cause we're licensed to live

It's us against the world

Together we try and together we cry

It's us against the world

The hurt that they give 'cause we're licensed to live

It's us against the world
