Iron Maiden Age Of Innocence Lyrics

I Can't Be Compromising
In My Thoughts No More
I Can't Prevent The Times
My Anger Fills My Heart

I Can't Be Sympathizing
With A New Lost Cause
I Feel I've Lost My Patience
With The World And All

And All The Politicians
And Their Hollow Promises
And All The Lies
Deceit And Shame
That Goes With It

The Working Man
Pays Everything
For Their Mistakes
And With His Life
Too If There Was
To Be A War

So We Can Only
Get One Chance
Can We Take It?
And We Only
Got One Life
Can't Exchange It

Can We Hold On
To What We Have
Don't Replace It
The Age Of Innocence
Is Fading Like
An Old Dream

A Life Of Petty Crime
Gets Punished
With A Holiday
The Victims' Mind
Are Scarred For Life
Most Everyday

a__ailants Know
Just How Much
Further They Can Go
They Know The
Laws Are Soft
Conviction Chances Low

So We Can Only
Get One Chance
Can We Take It?
And We Only
Got One Life
Can't Exchange It

Can We Hold On
To What We Have
Don't Replace It
The Age Of Innocence
Is Fading Like
An Old Dream

[[[SolO]]]

You Can't Protect
Yourselves
Even In Your
Own Home

For Fear Of
Vigilante Cries
The Victims
Wipe Their Eyes

So Now The Criminal
They Launch Right
In Our Face
Judical System
Lets Them Do It
A Disgrace

Despondent Public Worries
Where It Will All End?
We Can't Protect Ourselves
Our Kids From The Crime Trend

We Cannot Even
Warn Each Other
Of Evil In Our Midst
They Have More
Rights Than Us
You Cannot Call
That Just

So We Can Only
Get One Chance
Can We Take It?
And We Only
Got One Life
Can't Exchange It

Can We Hold On
To What We Have
Don't Replace It
The Age Of Innocence
Is Fading Like
An Old Dream.
