Some people think Think they have none They might as well stay down Running in circles Like bulls in a ring 'Til the sword finds it's way down While the creep beats the rap on appeal And the cop who can't stop Shows the kids how to steal [CHORUS] And we all need some light now We all need some light now Yes, we all need some light now Turn on your light And wash the darkness away Hey you on the brink Waiting to fall To become human surplus The movie's still shooting You might still get the roll And man it's all just a circus But the clown left town long ago Maybe he'll come back and give us a show [CHORUS] And we all need some light now We all need some light now Yes, we all need some light now Turn on your light and wash the darkness away [SOLO] [CHORUS to end]
