"Nobody Knows" lyrics

Nobody notices her as she moves like a ghost
Along the high road
Not a hint of the anguish and death she wears on her back
Like second-hand clothes
She hovers a tangle of gods and ideas
Can't understand why
We seem to throw open the doorway to some kind of hell
Then open our eyes

History says we learn from our mistakes
So why do we stage the same god-awful play?
Day after day
Day after day

While we crow about how far we've come
If you mention the damage we've done
Everyone says it's somebody's fault
But who takes the blame?
Who's keeping score?
Nobody knows

We spend every miserable day of our lives
Trying to fly
We struggle and strive to attain some kind of high
Falling like flies
In love we place our faith and in God we trust
But when we play our hearts, we're gonna go bust
Day after day
Day after day

And you talk about the passion of man
But we run when the shit hits the fan
Everyone says it's somebody's fault
But who takes the blame?
Who's keeping score?
Nobody knows
Day after day
Day after day

And you talk about the passion of man
But we run when the shit hits the fan
It's easy to say, "Keep on and on"
Try and try again or get back on

When you win, it's split to make it work
And you lose, no one could give a fuck
Everyone says it's just how it goes
You will play the game, you reap what you sow
It's easy to say, "It comes and it goes"
Try and try again, you fall, get back on
It's easy to say it's somebody's fault
But who takes the blame?
Who's keeping score?
Nobody knows
