Steve Harris Lyrics
"Us Against The World"

Promises made out of fright,
Hands held tight,
All is calm tonight.
I came here looking for a friend
To start again
(...) my love.

But everything went wrong today!
I close my eyes, but it won't go away...
And we were raised to do what's right
And not react to whatever is thrown at us!

And this games that we play...
Together we try and together we cry,
It's us against the world!
The hurt that they get 'cause we're licensed to live,
It's us against the world!

A gunshot echo in the night,
No end in sight, I'm in the hands of luck.
I came here for some peace of mind,
Would you be kind and help me on my way?

But everything went wrong today!
I close my eyes, but it won't go away...
And we were raised to do what's right
And not react to whatever is thrown at us!

And this wars that we rage...
Together we try and together we cry,
It's us against the world!
The pain that they get, but we're licended to live,
It's us against the world!

Sister and brother, father and mother,
Something has got to give, can't go much further!

And this games we play...
Together we try and together we cry,
It's us against the world!
The hurt that they get, but we're licensed to live,
It's us against the world!

Together we try and together we cry,
It's us against the world!
The hurt that they get, still we're licensed to live,
It's us against the world!
