| Lyrics |
| 3-5-0-1-2-5 Go! [in the original version only]
I was there in the backstage when first light came around I grew up like a changeling to win the first time around I can see all the weakness - I can pick all the faults I concede all the faith tests - just to stick in your throats 3-1-G - 3-1-G - 3-1-G I hung around in your soundtrack to mirror all that you've done To find the right side of reason - to kill the three lies for one [or on the Preston live album: It's on the right side of reason - to nail the three lies for one] I can see all the cold facts - I can see through your eyes All this talk made no contact, no matter how hard I tried 3-1-G - 3-1-G - 3-1-G I can still hear the footsteps - I can see only walls I slid into your man-traps, with no hearing at all [or in the Warsaw version: All this talk made no contact, with no hearing at all] I just see contradiction - had to give up the fight Just to live in the past tense - to make believe you were right [or on the Preston live album: I can see contradiction - I can see only lies All I want is a just law - just to free my pride] 3-1-G - 3-1-G - 3-1-G 3-5-0-1-2-5 |
