Man Alive! Lyrics - Dead Silence - Billy Talent

Man alive! 

Don't stand aside! 

While people make demands 

At first they'll take your liberties 

Then tie them 'round your hand 

Man alive! 

Don't stand aside! 

While people make demands 

When time goes by some day you'll find 

Their words are your command 

Well the bloodsucker society, is looking for recruits 

I took a sip of their sobriety, it doesn't taste that good 

Well at first you're fine with working overtime 

10 years go by til you're caught up in the grind 

And can't escape the fact your youth is fading fast 

These times won't last and once they're gone they don't come back 

Man alive! 

Don't stand aside! 

While people make demands 

At first they'll take your liberties 

Then tie them 'round your hand 

Man alive! 

Don't stand aside! 

While people make demands 

When time goes by some day you'll find 

Their words are your command 

They try to fill you with anxiety, until you bite the hook 

They drop a line of notoriety, they got a big cheque book 

Oh they'll turn you blind for a nickel and a dime 

Don't waste your time with their simple frame of mind 

You can't escape the fact your youth is fading fast 

These times won't last and once they're gone they don't come back 

Man alive! 

Don't stand aside! 

While people make demands 

At first they'll take your liberties 

Then tie them 'round your hand 

Man alive! 

Don't stand aside! 

While people make demands 

When time goes by some day you'll find 

Their words are your command 

Attention all personnel! 

Stand single file, resistance is futile! 

We're gonna raise your hopes up 

Just to knock them down 

You got a bright bright future 

If you can shut your mouth 

And if you work the front lines 

To keep us safe and sound 

You won't be compensated 

Until you're in the ground 

So don't waste a single breath 

On what society expects 

If history don't lie 

They're gonna take you for a ride until you die! 

Man alive! 

Don't stand aside! 

While people make demands 

At first they'll take your liberties 

Then tie them 'round your hand 

Man alive! 

Don't stand aside! 

While people make demands 

When time goes by some day you'll find 

Their words are your command
