Toxik - There Stood The Fence lyrics

rate me

There stood the fence that penned me in when I was younger<br />

This was the house where we all stayed<br />

There was a tree we used to hang out under<br />

This was the place where I played<br />

But now that's gone so I have to wonder<br />

Is it worth the price we pay?<br />

A long range test has put us under<br />

And made us go away, go away...<br />

This was the town where all my friends and I had grown up<br />

The only place I've ever known<br />

A long gray street with some houses built on it<br />

Less than perfect but it was home<br />

Now it's gone and I curse it in my darkness<br />

This is the cross I have to bear<br />

We pay the price of our own injustice<br />

We made us go nowhere<br />

Go nowhere, nowhere<br />

Solo<br />

This was our earth our garden of eden<br />

Took what we could and left her there bleeding<br />

And what became of the hopes and the dreams<br />

Did they die with us 'cause that's how it seems<br />

Here comes the rain can't you taste the acid?<br />

Or has it left you numb?<br />

This is the moral to the story I offer<br />

Can you hear me son...<br />

Or have you gone away<br />

Away <br />

Away<br />
