Lay down lay down Lay it all down Let your white birds smile up On the ones who stand and frown Lay down lay down Lay it all down Let your white birds smile up On the ones who stand and frown We were so close there was no room We bled inside each other's wounds We all had caught the same disease We all sang the songs of peace Chorus What if I told you were stupid destructive soulless Callous, murderous, malignant, belligerent, ignorant Would you believe me would you like that Or would you prove me wrong and fight back I'd like to take the sunshine right from the sky And let it shine on you through my eyes You see we all in the same boat trying to float So everybody grab a oar we can make it to shore Chorus We were so close there was no room We bled inside each other's wounds We all had caught the same disease We all sang the songs of peace Some came to sing some came to pray Some came to keep the dark away So raise the candles high 'Cuz if you don't we could stay black against the night Oh raise them higher again and if you do We could stay dry against the rain Chorus
