Now look at you all standing proud Dressed to kill, talking loud Guitar in your hand You see sex and violence, love and rage Still survive in this day and age And you?re sick about that, go ahead Life?s gonna take it so break these chains Come alive, the world's your stage Love and pain and sacrifice Flesh and blood all the songs of life You said I will not go quietly in the night Now look at you out on the streets Your mom and dad think you?re a freak Don?t understand you You wear your heart on your sleeve Seems all the people that you meet They criticize you too But just stand tall and face the pain You will not fall for the masquerade Love and pain and sacrifice Flesh and blood, all the songs of life You said I will not go quietly in the night The losing clowns, that try to drag you down But stand there, yeah Your life's getting stranger You know you can?t change it Destiny?s a callin? you, nothing you can do Now look at you all actin? strange I wonder what the winds of change have done to you Is it what you did or what you seen Or all the things you could not fix that affected you? Just you sing in Love and pain and sacrifice Flesh and blood, all the songs of life You said I will not go quietly in the night Wrong or right Love and pain and sacrifice Flesh and blood, all the songs of life You said I will not go quietly in the night You got to stand and fight
