[intro] [instrumental] [verse] Can anybody out there hear me? Does anybody care? Is the world devoid of feeling? are we getting what is fair? Is there light outside this tunnel? Is darkness all there is? What is there left to hope for? Why hope for more than this? [chorus] beat me, kick me, I don't mind stab me, shoot me from behind We take our lumps and ask for more and when you're through we ask of you kill the lights and close the door [instrumental] [instrumental] [verse] Is anybody good left? who cares about us all? Is there reason in our footsteps? or reason to stand tall? Do people really listen? Does heartache have a voice? Does power rule with an iron fist? Do people have a choice? [chorus] beat me, kick me, I don't mind stab me, shoot me from behind We take our lumps and ask for more and when you're through we ask of you kill the lights and close the door [instrumental] [instrumental] [bridge] What's the point in fighting if you know you're gonna lose? What's the point in dying for a fight you didn't choose? What's the point in fighting if you know you're gonna lose? What's the point in dying for a fight you didn't choose? What's the point in fighting if you know you're gonna lose? What's the point in dying for a fight you didn't choose? [chorus] beat me, kick me, I don't mind stab me, shoot me from behind We take our lumps and ask for more and when you're through we ask of you kill the lights and close the door [chorus] beat me, kick me, I don't mind stab me, shoot me from behind We take our lumps and ask for more and when you're through we ask of you kill the lights and close the door [outro] [instrumental] [end]
