I can see what's wrong with me --  It's in my head
I can see what's gonna be --       As I lie in my bed
Man is not my brotherhood --       I am of the dead

                     I died as I lived as I loved and was born
                                           On some distant hill
                     The reasons to hide were the reasons I cried
                                           Fools pass laughing still

verse 2:
There can be bad blood in all I can see --  It's in my brain
You don't know the pain I feel --           As I must live again
Rocks and stones can't bruise my soul but tears will leave a stain

They smile to themselves as they lay down my head
On some distant hill
The blind and the child sweep a tear from their eye
Fools smile as they kill

Ritchie's solo, done with volume knob acrobatics, bit tricky:

verse 3:
I got my own way to go and now I want -- To take your minds
I believe if you could see --            The blood between the lines
I believe that you could be --           A better kind

Please lead the way so the unborn can play
On some greener hill
Laugh as the flames eat their burning remains
Fools die laughing still
