So you wanted your stronghold
You wanted some peace
You wanted exemption from longing
You wanted fine clothes
And a powerful engine
And most of all a sense of belonging
So you did what you did
And you were only a kid
Now your actions rise up now
To haunt you
All those promises that you made
All you've taken in trade
You gave away
The best inside you
But what else could you do
The streets are so lonesome and empty
The best inside you
But nobody blames you
You come from the land
Of hope and plenty
Mornings are lonely
Nights are cold neon
You own all you ever dreamed of
Turn away from the past
And move on ever faster
A slave to the name of your freedom
You do what you can
But you are only one man
And right now you feel like less than nothing
All those promises that you made
All you've taken in trade
You gave away
The best inside you
But what else could you do
The streets are so lonesome and empty
The best inside you
But nobody blames you
You come from the land of plenty
The best inside you
So what are you gonna do
Are you desperate enough for repentance
The best inside you
Mocking you as you sleep
The secrets that you keep inside you
What you want is what you get
What you get ain't what you want
What you want is what you get
What you get ain't what you want
The best inside you
But what else could you do
The streets are so lonesome and empty
The best inside you
But nobody blames you
You come from the land of plenty
