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!
