Lyrics
He has been prosecuted by the mail of the people
He has been prosecuted by the voice of the people
And he has been proven guilty of high crime
No love for his people, discrimination of the people
We're hanging on the wire
A slow descent out of control
We're hanging on the wire
Stand back and watch it show
Let's guard this town like a raven
To find the prize that we've been searching for
Then drive back south
Before we're gripped by the cold
'Cause freedom's out of fashion
Always taking more than it should
We've lost the art of balance
And something makes me feel the worst
We're hanging on the wire
A slow descent out of control
We're hanging on the wire
Stand back and watch it show
Held hostage by our ambition
This ransom note must be read before dawn
Don't test wild threats
'Cause we'll pay you in gold
'Cause freedom's a rough shot
Always ticking more than it should
We've lost the order, the balance
And something makes me feel the worst
We're hanging on the wire
A slow descent out of control
We're hanging on the wire
Stand back and watch it show
We'll flesh this out, just don't look down
This break you, will turn inside out
We lost the war
Before hitting the ground
He has been prosecuted by the mail of the people
He has been prosecuted by the voice of the people
And he has been proven guilty of high crime
No love for his people, discrimination of the people
He has been prosecuted by the voice of the people
And he has been proven guilty of high crime
No love for his people, discrimination of the people
We're hanging on the wire
A slow descent out of control
We're hanging on the wire
Stand back and watch it show
Let's guard this town like a raven
To find the prize that we've been searching for
Then drive back south
Before we're gripped by the cold
'Cause freedom's out of fashion
Always taking more than it should
We've lost the art of balance
And something makes me feel the worst
We're hanging on the wire
A slow descent out of control
We're hanging on the wire
Stand back and watch it show
Held hostage by our ambition
This ransom note must be read before dawn
Don't test wild threats
'Cause we'll pay you in gold
'Cause freedom's a rough shot
Always ticking more than it should
We've lost the order, the balance
And something makes me feel the worst
We're hanging on the wire
A slow descent out of control
We're hanging on the wire
Stand back and watch it show
We'll flesh this out, just don't look down
This break you, will turn inside out
We lost the war
Before hitting the ground
He has been prosecuted by the mail of the people
He has been prosecuted by the voice of the people
And he has been proven guilty of high crime
No love for his people, discrimination of the people
