The Innocent Ones

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.

Driven from the center right out to the edge

Miserable and desperate standin' on a ledge

What was on the inside is now completely out

Nothing is for certain everything's in doubt

High... high... stand up in the sun

Everybody sing for the innocent ones

Hey... hey... nowhere left to run

Everybody sing for the innocent ones

Stripped completely naked middle of the night

Climbin' through the barbed wire stayin' outta sight

Hidin' in th shadows runnin' from the law

Every time you stand up you take it on the jaw

Can you hear them callin' can you hear them cry

Can you feel the heartbreak look you in the eye

Can you see the teardrops rollin' down the cheek

Some can hardly stand up some can hardly speak
