Song lyrics

Like a song I have to sing

I sing it for you

Like the words I have to bring

I bring it for you


And in leather, lace and chains, we stake our claim

Revolution once again

No I won't, I won't wear it on my sleeve

I can see through this expression and you know I don't believe

Too old to be told, exactly who are you?

Tonight, tomorrow's too late


And we love to wear a badge, a uniform

And we love to fly a flag

But I won't let others live in hell

As we divide against each other and we fight amongst ourselves

Too set in our ways to try to rearrange

Too right to be wrong, in this rebel song


Let the bells ring out (Oh)

Let the bells ring out (Oh)

Is there nothing left?

Is there, is there nothing?

Is there nothing left?

Is honesty what you want?


A generation without name, ripped and torn

Nothing to lose, nothing to gain

Nothing at all, and if you can't help yourself

Well, take a look around you, when others need your time

You say it's time to go, it's your time

Angry words won't stop the fight, two wrongs won't make it right

A new heart is what I need, oh, God, make it bleed


Is there nothing left? (Oh)

(Oh, oh)


Let the bells ring out (Oh)

Let the bells ring out (Oh)

Is there nothing left?

Is there, is there nothing?

Is there nothing left?

Is honesty what you want?


Let the bells ring out (Oh)

Let the bells ring out (Oh)

Is there nothing left?

Is there, is there nothing?

Is there nothing left?

Is honesty what you want?
