Somebody screamed
Somebody forced a lie
Somebody broke my faith today
And though it always seems the first time
It happens all the time baby
I find I'm dangling on a thin line
We are moving through life as pray
Somebody cried
Someone broke down inside
And I been listening to their stories
Down on the floor
I look up at the faces
Ragged by the races
Moving in time
Following the traces
Pretending a smile
Walking million miles with the forces of a wounded mule
And though it always seems the first time
It happens all the time baby
I find I'm dangling on a thin line
We are moving through life as pray
Somebody arrives a foreign place and starts to cry
But not a soul who thinks of giving up his precious place
And so they die
And though it always seems the first time
It happens all the time baby
I find I'm dangling on a thin line
We are moving through life as prey
Somebody forced a lie
Somebody broke my faith today
And though it always seems the first time
It happens all the time baby
I find I'm dangling on a thin line
We are moving through life as pray
Somebody cried
Someone broke down inside
And I been listening to their stories
Down on the floor
I look up at the faces
Ragged by the races
Moving in time

Walking million miles with the forces of a wounded mule
And though it always seems the first time
It happens all the time baby
I find I'm dangling on a thin line
We are moving through life as pray
Somebody arrives a foreign place and starts to cry
But not a soul who thinks of giving up his precious place
And so they die
And though it always seems the first time
It happens all the time baby
