In Vain - Rise Against lyrics

We leave our homes with bleeding hearts Poverty has been our crime We are the poor and have no wealth To purchase liberty We are constrained A drowning life besotted in sweet self We're the bleeding wounds of this world As we rise agaisnt their reign The forces gather to keep us down We're hopelessly constrained Our lives get slowly drained They'll claim it's justified Find strength to overcome A drowning life besotted in sweet self We're the bleeding wounds of this world Deliver us out of this darkness
