Lyrics

The street is empty, there's no one around
A fluorescent light flickers the only sound
After the fireworks ended, the show hit the road
When the going gets rough, the rough, they all go

And they're silent when they need to be heard
Pretending to be free as birds
But they're all imprisoned by sticks, stones and words
And you know they all hurt

The girl next door, she's living the dream
She plays on the porch, laughs and she sings
And then the circus rolls in again and all is gone in a flash
As to the who, the what, and the why, well no one's got anything to say that

Why are we silent when we need to be heard
Pretending to be free as birds
When we're all imprisoned by sticks, stones and words
And you know they all hurt

Everyone's sleeping there's nobody watching
Everyone's sleeping there's nobody watching
Everyone's sleeping there's nobody watching
And that's when you're caught in the fire
That's when you're caught in the fire, fire, fire

Why are we silent when we need to be heard
Pretending to be free as birds
When we're all imprisoned by sticks, stones, bullets and words--
Those we don't say because

Everyone's sleeping there's nobody watching
Everyone's sleeping there's nobody watching
Everyone's sleeping there's nobody watching
Everyone's sleeping there's nobody watching
And that's when you're caught in the fire
That's why we're caught in the fire, fire, fire
