Lyrics
Playing Dead
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We've watched you with beer soaked eyes
pointing your finger of blame
We've stood by close to the side line
fighting this feeling of shame
so you look where you are
just for once in your life
will you stop playing dead
just for once in your life
will you stop playing dead
Years have gone by and you're still here
remembering mistakes you've made
this town is hoping you'll quit your role
or will you still be afraid
so you look who you are
just for once in your life
will you stop playing dead
just for once in your life
will you stop playing dead
