I felt no guilt âtill I was caught, and I was told that I was guilty
And even then I wasnât really sure, yeah yeah
That the thing I felt was guilt itself, or maybe it was something else
Frustration at the fact that I was ever caught at all
I told a lie, that multiplied, by the time I realized it
Iâd given up everything Iâd ever loved, yeah yeah
âCuz the thing you lack, when youâre looking back
is the pressure you feel that you have to act
That everything is clearer when youâre looking at the past, oh no.

(, , , ) x 2
And I donât care if I lose,
because my heroes did too.
I shouted âCourt should be adjourned,
()
because the jury are fools.
()
And the judge canât decipher his left from his right, or his right from his wrong.
And I will bite the hand that thieves, I will not turn the other cheek
()
This is no threat, it is a promise I will keep.
So whatâs the point in pretending, when weâve seen behind the curtain
And thereâs nothinâ much to see, oh yeah

....
I won t forget,
the things you said,
when I was down,
and I was tired of it.
The words you spoke,
They brought me hope...
When it was time to fight,
We chose a side,
But everyone knew that something didn t feel right.
So we stood our ground,
And waited for a sign......
