You believe in something right
But you'll do something wrong
The loaded question will break your bones
Will put you on your knees

You paint the walls in red
The color of your heart
But the men in gray will get you now
You've got to hide or take the blame
Walk away
Walk away

You want to reach your friends
But they break the ties you had
You know the ones you've got to buy
So swallow your pride and pain
The rumors have been spread
You've got to leave this town
An accusing finger points at you
You start to walk a-, walk away

So now (so now)
You've gotta hide for your life
And now (and now)
You've got a border to cross
Walk away
Walk away

You believe in something right
But you'll do something wrong
The loaded question will break your bones
Will put you on your knees
The jailor rules your pain
You've got to give a name
You always pay to break the chains
And leave this world, change your name

So now (so now)
You've gotta hide for your life
And now (and now)
You've got a border to cross
Tonight
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away
