Artist/Band: Iron Maiden
Lyrics for Song: Age Of Innocence
Lyrics for Album: Dance Of Death [2003]



I can't be compromising in my thoughts no more,

I can't prevent the times my anger filles 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 their 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 only get one chance can we take it,

And we only get 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 victim's minds are scarred for life most everyday

Assailants know just how much further they can go,

They know the laws are soft conviction changes low



So we only get one chance can we take it,

And we only get 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



You can't protect yourself even in your own home,

For fear of vigilante cries the victims wipe their eyes

So now the criminals they laugh right in your face,

Judicial system lets them do it, a disgrace



Despondent public worries where it all will end,

We can't protect ourselves our kids from crime the trend

We cannot warn each other of evil in our midst,

They have more rights than us, you cannot call that just



So we only get one chance can we take it,

And we only get 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



The age of innocence is fading like an old dream...
