Paradise (What About Us?)

There’s no sense; the fire burns When wisdom fails, it changes all The wheel embodies all that keeps on turning Blood red skies, I feel so cold No innocence, we play our role The wheel embodies all, where are we going? All in all you’d expect the wise to be wiser Fallen from grace, all and all I guess We should have known better, ‘cause… What about us, isn’t it enough? No, we’re not in paradise This is who we are; this is what we got No, it’s not our paradise But it’s all we want And it’s all that we’re fighting for Though it’s not paradise You and us, or I and them There comes a time to take a stand The wheel is watching all that keeps on burning The venom works, it’s like a curse A Trojan horse, when will we learn? The wheel embodies all that keeps returning All in all you’d expect the wise to be wiser Fallen from grace, all and all I guess We should have known better, ‘cause… What about us, isn’t it enough? No, we’re not in paradise This is who we are; this is what we got No, it’s not our paradise But it’s all we want And it’s all that we’re fighting for Though it’s not paradise What about us, what about us? What about us, isn't it enough?
