This ain't a riot
It's a little taste of the way we are
No peace or quiet
Till the ceiling breaks and we brave the dark
I'm not a child
Still I want safety as a fact
It's been a while
But they took the power
Take it back

Hoping praying waiting for the curtain call
What will we see finally when the curtain falls?

It ain't a secret
We're all aware of the way it is
I know you see it
As an open fact of how we live
Oh, aren't you tired
If you didn't choose this then who did
Where can we find em
Wanna tell em a couple things

Ooh, so many stories in the same shape
Ooh, how many more of these can we take?

Hoping praying waiting for the curtain call
What will we see finally when the curtain falls?

Ooh, so many stories of the same thing
Ooh, for how much longer can we take this

Hoping praying waiting for the curtain call
Living like this kinda makes no sense at all
