In back-alley street
where every alley meets
in every corner of the world
everybody's popping pills.
Why take drugs when you could love?
Why destroy the temple of God?
These are the battle fields
so they dope you up so you can't feel
so you can't tell what is real
but this is real, this is real
these are the battlefields.
In 'Charlie Brown, ' a Coldplay song,
we still glow in the dark
with broken hearts, broken hearts
forever in the dark
with broken hearts.
Let us shine,
let us see
take the needles
out of our veins
and pray
and escape
back-alley street.
