The Lights Songtext
von The Taxpayers

And the lights go on as the belts grow tighter
It seems more difficult to walk through the fire
To walk through the fire
On your own
You gotta hold it back when you learn it early on
That you can have what you want if you take it away from someone
From somebody else

(One, two, three, four)

Because you try to do the best that you can
But it gets taken away
Again and again and again, again
It gets tougher to be a person that you respect
Do you get desperate when you get alone?
Do you get desperate when you get alone?


And the lights go off and on and off and on
And the lights go off and on and off and on
And the lights go off and on and off and on
And the lights go off and on and off and on

And the lights go off as the wallets get bigger
It makes the few good folks left feel sicker and sicker
You gotta hold it back when time wears thin
Learn to not get that upset about this sort of thing
And just hope
That it all works out

But hope got trademarked
By elected politicians
And now it′s so tough to hope without feeling deceptive
But I believe it's alright
To believe it′s gonna be alright
