tuneless voices singing out
distant bells are ringing now
don’t keep us
I’m sleepless
it’s needless to say
chorus
in all that we know
there’s one thing that’s sure
you earn it
you learn it
you make your own road
in stars that are made
with debts never paid
they choose them
we lose them
tomorrow, today
X-Rated
(voice of the word) they say again
(prophet of the word) we feel the pain
(voice of the word) we go without
(prophet of the word) it’s a talent drought
(voice of the word) in them we trust
(prophet of the word) they bite the dust
(voice of the word) give us today
(prophet of the word) a better way
