Alone (Seul)

We find love, you and I

It's a new game to play

Then we tell our first lie

And see our love go away

And we find, we're alone

We rush on, you and I

We don't need love at all

We need thrills, we need speed

Then we stumble and fall

And we find, we're alone

We're loyal, you and I

To flowers that are dead

We forget how to cry

We save photos instead

And we find, we're alone

We hear guns, you and I

We ask what is that

Then we open the Times

We're informed where it's at

And we find, we're alone

We're moral, you and I

We stand for what's right

We slaughter all evil

By dawn's early light

And we find, we're alone

We're lucky, you and I

We're alive and secure

But in the bank and the church

We can never feel sure

And we find, we're alone

We've made it, you and I

We have glory and fame

Yet we never know why

We feel so ashamed

And we find, we're alone

We have power, you and I

But what good is that now

We would build a new world

If we only knew how

And we find, we're alone

We are old, you and I

We beg warmth from the sun

In the dreams that we dream

We ask what have we done

And we find, we're alone
