Coheed and Cambria
Mothers of Men
[Verse 1 - Claudio Sanchez]
In this space where nothingness seems to writhe
Our voice unheard in this quiet fight
This march we lead will breed our song
To them we're nothing, to them we're pawns
Oh, a desperate play to feel like we belong
Now, as we take up into the streets, remember
I depend on you as much as you on me
Don't try to fake it, let's not pretend
We made you mothers, we made you men
We made you mothers, we made you men

[Chorus - Claudio Sanchez]
Oh, it's no surprise, nobody listens anymore
To what we're saying, to what was said
And in your absence we promised you
"We'll behave, oh, we'll behave"
So just keep running
Everything will look better once you look away
Oh, I agree!
Cause what's the difference, oh, is there a difference we make?

[Verse 2 - Claudio Sanchez, Chondra Echert]
Your day will come...
The rain starts dancing across our backs
These ardent words seize this heart attack
Belief still strong, we can make this change
The stage is set to occupy the brain
The stages, we made this, we made this...
We made it!
[Chorus - Claudio Sanchez, Chondra Echert, both]
It's no surprise, nobody listens anymore
To what we're saying, to what was said
To what we're saying...
And in your absence we promised you
"We'll behave, oh, we'll behave"
We'll misbehave...
So just keep running
Everything will look better once you look away
I've lost you... Oh, I agree!
Cause what's the difference, oh, is there a difference we make?

[Bridge]
Between a dapper villain in a Sunday serial at the podium
Or another cog in the wheel, just another cog in the wheel
They're both capable of making life hard
No bandage can mend all these parts
So why do I give?

[Pre-Chorus]
Between, between, between...
Between, between, between...
Between, between, between...

[Chorus - Claudio Sanchez, Chondra Echert, both]
Oh, it's no surprise, nobody listens anymore
To what we're saying, to what was said
To what we're saying...
And in your absence we promised you
"We'll behave, oh, we'll behave"
We'll misbehave...
So just keep running
Everything will look better once you look away
I've lost you... Oh, I agree!
Cause what's the difference, oh, what's the difference
[Outro]
Of making life hard? To what we're saying...
No bandage can mend all these parts We'll misbehave...
So why do I live with this? I've lost you...
No difference...

(Dyer: "Good night.")
