Don't damn a man without reason
The ropes will catch him in the end
His life float by regardless
Just one hand to count his friends
The path appears to end in darkness
He stumbles on but there's no light
All his dreams are hiding from him
In the shadows of the night
But what is happening here
A trial without a crime
There's no escaping
They're getting higher all the time
The odds against tomorrow
Today has brought this misdemeanour
His pulse is flowing to the shore
The fire's been left untamed
He can't take it anymore
But if he pulls himself together
He knows that he can't lose
He's gotta start believing
Strike a match, light the fuse
But what is happening here
A trial without a crime
There's no escaping
They're getting higher all the time
The odds against tomorrow
The odds against tomorrow
The odds against tomorrow
The odds against tomorrow
The odds against
The odds against
The odds against
