You pray a prayer and pledge allegiance Read your USA Today Skim the wars and hungry faces Decide the world has lost its way You swear that you're helpless Afraid of trying your compassion Nothing ventured, nothing lost Always keeping to the sidelines As if they're never to be crossed You swear that you're helpless Safe in the shadows Watch from a distance Finally committing Crimes of the witness You must have overheard her cryjng Felt a sorrow in the air But you kept yourself believing That it was none of your affair You swear that you're helpless Safe in the shadows Watch from a distance Finally committing Crimes of the witness
(Sax solo) ♪ Safe in the shadows Watch from a distance Finally committing Crimes of the witness Safe in the shadows Judge from a distance Finally committing Crimes of the witness
