There are scabs inside us all
That none of us even know are there
And when you open up the door
It covers us all in a cruel light
A message sent back in '86
Did it make it as far as here?
Or did you rip it into shreds?
Now we all know what the truth is

Screaming like we're wrapped in barbed wire and we are
Hoping that we make it out of here
Waiting even if it takes until I die there will be
New life growing up from where we lie
Where we lie

Can your heart take the strain of this?
What on earth are you playing for?
Was it you that pushed the pin?
So you just have to accept it all
On the screen almost everyday
With the secret behind your eyes
Just how long are gonna lie?
Now we all know what the truth is

Screaming like we're wrapped in barbed wire and we are
Hoping that we make it out of here
Waiting even if it takes until I die there will be
New life growing up from where we lie
Where we lie

(It's our right so let us know) C'mon!
(All the dirty lies you told)
(It's our right so let us know) C'mon!
(All the dirty lies you told)
(It's our right so let us know) C'mon! C'mon!
(All the dirty lies you told)
(It's our right so let us know) C'mon!
(All the dirty lies you told)

Screaming like we're wrapped in barbed wire and we are
Hoping that we make it out of here
Waiting even if it takes until I die there will be
New life growing up from where we lie
Where we lie

Screaming like we're wrapped in barbed wire and we are
Hoping that we make it out of here
Waiting even if it takes until I die there will be
New life growing up from where we lie
Where we lie

Where we lie!
