The wind blows through another morning
The taste of hatred in your mouth
Makes you wonder why
Are you alive if you're still breathing?

You sacrifice not knowing why -
your cries cannot be heard
By the ways of this world you have to know your place
You sacrifice not knowing why -
it's a lesson to be learned
For it pays in this world to spit back in their face

The mirror bears another warning:
It is death you can't live without
It makes you wonder why
Are they alive if they're still breathing?

You sacrifice not knowing why -
your cries cannot be heard
By the ways of this world you have to know your place
You sacrifice not knowing why -
it's a lesson to be learned
For it pays in this world to spit back in their face

...And you're lost without a trace...
They'll put you back into your place.
And you know there will never be the one
To repay

You sacrifice not knowing why -
your cries cannot be heard
By the ways of this world you have to know your place
You sacrifice not knowing why -
it's a lesson to be learned
For it pays in this world to spit back in their face

You sacrifice not knowing why -
your cries cannot be heard
By the ways of this world you have to know your place
You sacrifice not knowing why -
it's a lesson to be learned
For it pays in this world to spit back in their face
