Promises made out of fright Hands held tight all is calm tonight I came here looking for a friend To start again and it's goodbye my love But everything went wrong today I close my eyes but it won't go away And we were raised to do what's right And not react to whatever's thrown at us And these games that we play Together we try and together we cry It's us against the world The hurt that they give 'cause we're licensed to live It's us against the world A gunshot echo in the night No end in sight I'm in the hands of luck I came here for some peace of mind Would you be kind And help me on my way But everything went wrong today I close my eyes but it won't go away And we were raised to do what's right And not react to whatever's thrown at us And these wars that we rage Together we try and together we cry It's us against the world The pain that they give 'cause we're licended to live It's us against the world Sister and brother, father and mother Something has got to give, can't go much further And this games we play Together we try and together we cry It's us against the world The hurt that they give, but we're licensed to live It's us against the world Together we try and together we cry It's us against the world The hurt that they give still we're licensed to live It's us against the world
