Burning Image - The Lower Walks lyrics

Somebody give me a reason why these people live the way they do They're all forced to watch the failures of their lives They do everything that they're told as long as they're left alone But they all seem so happy with their hands tied behind their backs I can't understand why they care so little for each other We don't know why they're so numb to the rest of the world They might regret their present life and other things there before them They can't explain the anxiety that fills their lives Their lives, fills their lives, their lives.............. Why do we let them do as they please? You'd think that they owned our souls Let's pray that they don't get together and change our minds There's no use, there's just no place to hide, no place to go They prey on the weak and the hungry, the rich and the poor I can't understand why they care so little for each other We don't know why they're so numb to the rest of the world They might regret their present life and other things there before them They can't explain the anxiety that fills their lives Their lives, fills their lives, their lives..............
