We look like Spanish dancers
We preach to serious faces
As if we're being seasick
And we need to make choices
I don't know the pain So I see it I'm afraid
Self-assertion and the flame
We don't have the answers No aces in our sleeves
And all you hear is echoes
Of other people's dreams
I don't know the pain So I see it I'm afraid
Self-assertion and the flame
We have a center of attention
And we're losing a lot
Pretending we're so fine
All pain is very fine
I don't know the pain
So I see it I'm afraid
I
don't know the pain So I see it I'm afraid
Self-assertion and the flame We're the Wasted Life Brigade
