lyrics

Avenues - Lights Out

There was nothing left for us to hold onto.
When they pulled the plug, that’s when they turned their backs on you.
Their systematic efforts, broke us down inside.
We were torn apart, thrown away and left to die.

Lights out, you got me.
A new world is, slipping through the cracks.
Lights out, you caught me.
And we didn’t... even have a chance.
Lights out... you fought me.
The blood stain left on our helpless hands.
Won’t be forgotten.....

You need to stand up for your rights, or they’ll them too.
They want to hold you down, to the ground and spit on you.
The more, power that they have, keeps them in control.
We gotta lead the fight, in the end, never to let it go...

Lights out, you got me.
A new world is, slipping through the cracks.
Lights out, you caught me.
And we didn’t... even have a chance.
Lights out... you fought me.
The blood stain left on our helpless hands.
Won’t be forgotten.....

With all their money and greed.
They’re gonna take away, all we have.
Before they’re ever gonna let you out.
Stuck in a cage of, despair.......
We’re gonna break away from the lies.
We’re gonna break away from the lies.....

Lights out, you got me.
A new world is, slipping through the cracks.
Lights out, you caught me.
And we didn’t... even have a chance.
Lights out... you fought me.
The blood stain left on our helpless hands.
Won’t be forgotten.....
