Through the alleys I was chased By ghosts of the buried past And they were singing a song that I had heard before And I would forget no more I saw their shadows on the wall And I never, never felt so small All their voices raised to push me to the ground And so I turned around We say no To every word they shout Since the wind has turned We say no To every torch that they have burnt We say no For every one out there Who must be afraid We say no Before it is too late They screamed their dreams into the night And I thought we would never have to fight And every colour was held against the tainted grey 'Cause we all came to stay They say one learns the other one turns Away from everything he's supposed to know But have they ever thought that he might just turn around 'Cause he doesn't know where to go We say no To every word they shout Since the wind has turned We say no To every torch that they have burnt We say no For every one out there Who must be afraid We say no Before it is too late
