Oh ♪ Don't say we're better off dead Soon we could be in remission I said, "It's not enough" They told me, "It'll be fine, happiness isn't a crime, son" So pick your guts from the floor We'll all be hanging a hero Praying for someone to save us Goliath says I oughta let it go Nobody's proving me wrong They're all singing hallelujah Keep two eyes open 'Cause jackals live by the candlelight ♪ We've got a mountain to climb But I ain't got the permission They wanna call my bluff They said, "You're crossing the line" I said, "It takes one to know one" Oh, please God, be merciful 'Cause they, they know not what they do We should be begging for more We'll all be hanging a hero Praying for someone to save us Goliath says I oughta let it go Nobody's proving me wrong They're all singing hallelujah Keep two eyes open 'Cause jackals live by the candlelight Bury your head in the sand Soon you'll be feeling the fangs So sleep with two eyes open 'Cause jackals live by the candlelight ♪ Long live the king that's not listening No time for rats in the gutter Snakes coiling, but we're signalling Screaming at one another Long live the king that's not listening No time for rats in the gutter Snakes coiling, but we're signalling Screaming at one another ♪ Smoke 'em out and set a fire in the hive They wouldn't break their stride if we were burning alive ♪ Burning alive ♪ The jackals live by the candlelight They live by the candlelight Nobody's proving me wrong They're all singing hallelujah Keep two eyes open 'Cause jackals live by the candlelight Bury your head in the sand Soon you'll be feeling the fangs So sleep with two eyes open 'Cause jackals live by the candlelight
