Living Colour

Pattern in Time

If you want to play you need skin in the game

Everybody loves you but they don't know your name

Play my blues sing your pain

But nobody wants to live in my shade

I see your pattern in time

Looking back at history's crimes

Bright lights, straight lines

I see your pattern in time

Everything they told you completely wrong

Every time you lose it's all your fault

Every day you're made to feel so small

Every damn day you hit that wall

I see your pattern in time

Looking back at history's crimes

Bright lights, straight lines

I see your pattern in time

Pattern in time

Pattern in time

Pattern in time

Pattern in time

Pattern in time

Pattern in time

Pattern in time

Pattern in time

I see your pattern in time

Looking back at history's crimes

Bright lights, straight lines

I see your pattern in time

Sometimes this life can be severe

Sometimes it's not very clear

Always questioning why you're here

But you got to face your fear

I see your pattern in time

Looking back at history's crime

Bright lights, straight lines

I see your pattern in time
