So, we go on refining life like an ever-sharpened knife
+
And our faces are reflected on the back of a windowpane
+
Now the target's set as me if my weaknesses they see it will come to haunt me once again
+
With that pressure hemming in on you from on every other side
+
We smile just like the other folks but with a lot more pride
+
Oh, I'm sure no matter who you are, it always stays the same
+
I must fight against myself
+
So, such an angelic face now coming down the road
+
Unable to foretell sudden tragedy will unfold
+
With never a sound With nary a cry I look up to the blue sky
+
And now keep acting out the roles you have in any scene you play
+
Before you talk of dreams or hope in any other way
+
Oh, I'm sure no matter who you are, it always stays the same
+
You must fight against yourself
+
The sun sets and a new day comes
+
Repeating is one change
+
Don't avert eyes from differences
+
Your nerve and soul to the limit Go forward now
+
With pressure hemming in on you from on every other side
+
We smile just like the other folks but with a lot more pride
+
Oh, I'm sure no matter who you are, it always stays the same
+
I must fight against myself
+
Oh, I'm sure no matter who you are, it always stays the same
+
You must fight against yourself
