The Lighting

We are innocent for everything that's wrong

You make statements with your words in every song

And you can act for every camera

But you know that's not the answer

When you only give if someone seems to look

And we keep falling for the words you have to say

Never questioning your million dollar days

And they can put you on a magazine

To show off your celebrity

But have you really ever made a change?

'Cause we are working

And we are fighting

While you are living

In the lighting

So maybe this is how you've always been

Always searching for a way to grab attention

And you can pose for every picture

And drink up every mixture

As you're paid to show your face in busy places

But we are working

And we are fighting

And we are searching

Without the lighting

And I know I'm not that I'm perfect

But at least I know what love is

And if I could I'd give a hand to every man

'Cause I'm lucky just to be here

And that's the way I see things clear

But you complain

'Cause you're so vain

But we are working

And we are fighting

While you are living

In the lighting

We are working (we are working)

And we are fighting (we are fighting)

While you are living (you are living)

In the lighting (in the lie - in the lie - in the lighting)

So we will cheer you all the way across the field

And we will listen to your music just to feel

And we will see you at the movies

While the money keeps you moving

But your celebrity will never make a change
