Slash, Tom Morello, Jerry Cantrell - Wish You Were Here lyrics

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell blue skys from pain
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees?
And hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage? How I wish
How I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls
Swimmin' in a fish bowl year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found? The same old fears
And I wish that you were here

Oh, how I wish you were here how I wish
How I wish you were here
Running over the same old ground
What have we found? The same old fears
And I wish that you were here
