Release the hand on all man my holy father
So the world shall know
That you are here to strike the hour

Did you call?
I thought I heard you calling
In rhythm with my pulse, a frantic pulse
A pulse of fear, a pulse that lives inside each
Oh yes indeed, these shallow walls
Can never hide you, from the deepest part of your soul

So now, I'm some sort of criminal,
The one created in your mind
So now I'm labeled a pessimist
But if the truth hurts, then you're blind

Bring me the finest wine we have
And let's give a toast to all mankind

Some may fall, then others rise
Each with an answer
Bureaucracy at its best, the final answer
Yeahnow

Beset with words, incredulous stares
A man of honor I defend

Some may fall, then others rise
Each with an answer
Bureaucracy at its best, the final answer

So now, I'm some sort of criminal,
The one created in your mind
So now I'm labeled a pessimist
But if the truth hurts, then you're blind

Bring me the finest wine we have
And let's give a toast to all mankind

[Instrumental]

You have the answers,
I have the questions
Please tell me all I need to know
I only want the truth

You are the one who denies and the one who will take my share
You inflict crippling thoughts,
To be shrew the life that I have

So now I'm labeled a pessimist
But if the truth hurts, then you're blind

Bring me the finest wine we have
And let's give a toast to all mankind
