Don't say that you do,
If you know that you don't,
Don't say that you will,
If you know that you won't,

It's simply common sense,
When everybody's scared of consequence,
It's hard to keep your head,
When all around the lights have turned to red,

And try as you may oh you can't keep the wolves at bay,

Everyone wants to discover,
The undiscovered,
And no one's willing to commit themselves unless their own backs are covered,

It's hard to make a move,
When everyone is scared that they might lose,
It's hard to keep your head,
When all around the lights have changed to red,
And try as you may oh you can't keep the wolves at bay,
You can't keep the wolves at bay,

Oh what a difference a decade makes,
It's easy to tell between fools and lies,
All won't be lost no,
Think, and put out this fire

It's simply common sense,
When everybody's scared of consequence,
It's hard to keep your head,
When all around the lights have changed to red,
And try as you may oh you can't keep the wolves at bay,
You can't keep the wolves at bay,

Despite what you say,
You can't keep the wolves at bay
