Read the writing on the wall
It's clear to see for one and all
Yeah, lock step followers will fall
To their knees when they're ordered to crawl

But here I am
And here I stand
This is the end
Of the quiet man

And don't you think that I don't know
Because I don't go the way you go
Yeah, I got it, I got it, I got it all
How your arrogance has taken hold

But here I am
And here I stand
This is the end
Of the quiet man

You lock your lips, you build a wall
Now use your words to make it fall

So here I am
And here I stand
Yeah, here I am
And here I stand
This is the end
This is the end
I no longer am
The quiet man
