You tell yourself you're not the one
You won't get hurt when the damage is done
You tell yourself it won't happen to you
It's the same old story, there's nothing newCan't be the one, the one to lose
You're only wearin' someone else's shoes
Can't you read it, it's up on the wall
How can some one so big be so smallYou're nothin' without your friends
They'll be with you till the bitter end
You're nothin' and you'll find out
What this world is all aboutStanding in this strike zone
Runnin' with the pack
Standing in this strike zone
Ain't no use in turnin' backYou want no war, it's the chance you take
Look easier and the ice won't break
When the sun comes out in the dead of the night
You won't escape from the blinding lightFreedom blows but who you blame
See the madness burnin' in their brains
Nowhere to run, no place to hide
You're all alone on a one way rideYou're nothin without your friends
They'll be with you till the bitter end
You're nothin' and you'll find out
What this world is all aboutStanding in this strike zone
Runnin' with the pack
Standing in this strike zone
Ain't no use in turnin' backStanding in this strike zone
There's a panic in the streets
Standing in this strike zone
Ain't no golden parks retreatYou tell yourself you're not the one
You won't get hurt when the damage is done
You tell yourself it won't happen to you
It's the same old story, it's nothin' newCan't be the one, the one to lose
You're only wearin' someone else's shoes
Can't you read it, it's up on the wall
How can some one so big be so smallStanding in this strike zone
Runnin' with the pack
Standing in this strike zone
Ain't no use in turnin' backStanding in this strike zone
There's a panic in the streets
Standing in this strike zone
Ain't no golden parks retreatStanding in this strike zone
And runnin' with the pack
Standing in a strike zone
Ain't no use in turnin' backStanding in this strike zone
There's a panic in the streets
Standing in this strike zone
You got a ticket for a front row seatStrike zone
