So,  so you think you can tell,
 Heaven from Hell,  blue skies from pain.
 Can you tell a green field  from a cold steel rail,  a smile from a veil,
 Do you think you can tell?
 And did they get you to trade  your heroes for ghosts,
 Hot ashes for trees,  hot air for a cool  breeze, cold comfort for change,
 And did you exchange  a walk on part in the war  for a lead role in a cage?
How  I wish, how I wish you were here.
 We're just two  lost souls swimming in a fish bowl,  year after year,
 Running over the same old ground. What  have we found?
 The same old fears.  Wish you were here!
