Turn the Tables

Breathe it in
Close your eyes
Let it all pass you by
Hold it in
Let it stand
Pretend it will find its end
Because conflict is uncalled for
And reason is unchanged
And the golden rule for all of us
Is to be seen and not be heard

We've lived by your rules
And we've played by your games
But the time has come when we
Turn the tables on this place
We've fallen into misery
And lived our lives in pain
But the time has come when we
Turn the tables on this place

Take a seat
Look away
As if there's nothing waiting
Let them win
Live in sin
There's nothing worth the fight
Because we're too naieve to listen
And too wound up to care
They bully and batter our image
As they force feed us their lies

We've lived by your rules
And we've played by your games
But the time has come when we
Turn the tables on this place
We've fallen into misery
And lived our lives in pain
But the time has come when we
Turn the tables on this place

And somewhere down the line
You'll see we never listened
We played by our own rules
And lived by our own lives
What you say doesn't phase us
And what you know isn't ours
We're stronger than you've made us
We're not living out your flaws

We've lived by your rules
And we've played by your games
But the time has come when we
Turn the tables on this place
We've fallen into misery
And lived our lives in pain
But the time has come when we
Turn the tables on this place

We've lived by your rules
And we've played by your games
But the time has come when we
Turn the tables on this place
We've fallen into misery
And lived our lives in pain
But the time has come when we
Turn the tables on this place
