Put a price upon your head
And wish that you were dead
Said you'd crossed the line
Far too many times
Took you for a thief
And beggered your beliefs
Said it was your crimes
That you couldn't read the signs
Helped you on your way
Helped to give you pain
Took away your sight
There was no fight, no flight
Made you pander to their whims
They're on the outside looking in
Didn't help at all
Just stood and watched you fall
Can you help me?
Can you help me?
Cos I need to understand
The truth behind the plan
Can you help me?
Well they pushed you to the brink
And helped to push you in
Didn't reckon on your desire
Your instinct to survive
With the strength that you have found
By standing your own ground
And you ain't gonna run
Despite what?? Done
Can you help me?
Can you help me?
Cos I need to understand
The truth behind the plan
Can you help me?
When you know there comes a time
That you're running for your life
Your back's against the wall
And you're pressed???????
And if you want to stay alive
You know you'll have to fight
Against all the deadly things
With the strength that lies within
Can you help me?
Can you help me?
So I stand amongst the brave
And not just walk away
With the world that is a friend
And a penny not just spent
Walking side by side, grateful you're alive
Can you help me?
Can you help me?
Can you help me?
Can you help me?
Can you help me?
