Dragons (Album Version)
A time of hope and a time of pain
A shining light, we act inhumane
How much we care can be ascertained
The status quo has been maintained
We treat the truth like a bitter pill
Want pats on the back if we're not Harvey or Bill
But under the microscope, we can't sit still
Are we subconsciously scared
Our power will be reduced?
(Know in your bones the fowl have come to roost)
Time for re-birth, it's the hour to be induced
(Do fragile egos need a boost?)
Deflecting blame, our culpability
(Heard us exclaim on widespread reality)
Collective shame, faulting "inevitabilities"
(Unresponsive to our pleas)
Been runnin' so long, we keep runnin' so fast
Sight to behold the bodies we've amassed
Cover our tracks with dry forked tongues
There must be fire in our lungs
Runnin' so long (Running so long), runnin' so fast
Scorching the ground, damage is vast (Damage is vast)
Seasoned and old keep pace with the young (Young)
There must be fire in our lungs (Fire)
They dare speak out, whole lives are parsed
Barely open a mouth before claims of a farce
Mistrust abounds, commitments sparse
Our word on song, their voices noise (Noise)
Just "locker room talk, Sweetie, boys'll be boys" (Such boys)
To listen to that, it takes such poise (Poise)
While lives en masse destroyed
Just so transparently scared
Our power will be reduced
(Know in your bones the fowl have come to roost)
Time for re-birth, it's the hour to be induced
(Far more to gain than to lose)
Deflecting blame, our culpability
(Heard us exclaim on widespread reality)
Collective shame, so-called "inevitabilities"
(Unresponsive to our pleas)
Been runnin' so long, we keep runnin' so fast
Sight to behold the bodies we've amassed
We cover our tracks with dry forked tongues
There must be fire in our lungs
Been runnin' so long (Running so long), been runnin' so fast
Scorching the ground, damage is vast (Damage is vast)
The seasoned and old can keep pace with the young (Young)
There must be fire in our lungs! (Fire)
(You don't know the half of how we live, how we live
All we're forced to sacrifice and give
You've been asked to help change the day-to-day
But all too often, you run away. Run away)
It's a time of hope, but the times are strange
What's taken as given, we have means to change
Some have bravely spoken and took us to task
So there's one thing left to ask
Are we dragons? (Running away)
Are we dragons? (Running from blame)
Are we dragons? (Your running is shame)
For there's fire in our lungs! (Fire)
Are we dragons? (Running away)
Are we dragons? (Running from blame)
Are we dragons? (Your running is shame)
For there's fire in our lungs! (Fire)
(Egos so brittle, why so little?)
A little little dragons
So much fire! (Fire)
A shining light, we act inhumane
How much we care can be ascertained
The status quo has been maintained
We treat the truth like a bitter pill
Want pats on the back if we're not Harvey or Bill
But under the microscope, we can't sit still
Are we subconsciously scared
Our power will be reduced?
(Know in your bones the fowl have come to roost)
Time for re-birth, it's the hour to be induced
(Do fragile egos need a boost?)
Deflecting blame, our culpability
(Heard us exclaim on widespread reality)
Collective shame, faulting "inevitabilities"
(Unresponsive to our pleas)
Been runnin' so long, we keep runnin' so fast
Sight to behold the bodies we've amassed
Cover our tracks with dry forked tongues
There must be fire in our lungs
Runnin' so long (Running so long), runnin' so fast
Scorching the ground, damage is vast (Damage is vast)
Seasoned and old keep pace with the young (Young)
There must be fire in our lungs (Fire)
They dare speak out, whole lives are parsed
Barely open a mouth before claims of a farce

For there's fire in our lungs! (Fire)
Are we dragons? (Running away)
Are we dragons? (Running from blame)
Are we dragons? (Your running is shame)
For there's fire in our lungs! (Fire)
(Egos so brittle, why so little?)
A little little dragons
So much fire! (Fire)
