[Verse 1]
Frightened and restless, I wait until
She reads to me stories of death and destruction

[Chorus]
Illusions and, and false impressions
Greed has no color, no race or no creed
Illusions and, and false impressions
Greed has no color, no race or no creed

[Bridge]
Will I wake up or will I die?
Will I wake up or will?..

[Verse 2]
She read to me when she comes through my window
Is there less fear in my life? Is there less fear in my death?

[Chorus]
Illusions and, and false impressions
Greed has no color, no race or no creed
Illusions and, and false impressions
Greed has no color, no race or no creed

[Breakdown]
None are so blind as
Those who will not see
None are so blind as
Those who will not see, will not hear!
The pounding outside
Is getting louder
The pounding!
[Bridge]
Who would cry if I died tonight?
Who would try to stop me?
Who would try?
Who would try to stop me?

[Bridge]
They're not far behind me
They're not far behind (They're not far behind)
They're not far behind me
They're not far behind (They're not far behind)

[Outro]
They're not far behind me
They're not far behind
They're not far behind me
They're not far behind me!
