Built this place alone, with a hammer and nail,
Gave up my ghost and tore down the veil,
Wasn't I the one who forgave everything?
When I told the truth, they all turned away.
Listen...
You can hear the singing, and the bells of Cambridge ringing,
Soothing like a lullaby, painful as a scream.
Like a song you can't tune out,
Song you can't tune out,
Song you can't tune out, no way, no how,
You can't tune out.
Fed the masses bread, while the cynics had their day,
Clamed the stormy seas in my sleep with a wave,
Wasn't I the one who was raised from the grave?
Look me in the eye and tell me why you're not afraid?
Still...
You can hear the singing, and the bells of Cambridge ringing,
Soothing like a lullaby, painful as a scream.
Like a song you can't tune out,
Song you can't tune out,
Song you can't tune out, no way, no how,
You can't tune out.
You can hear the singing,
Can't tune out,
Bells of Cambridge ringing,
Can't tune out,
Can't tune out.
Who took a beating and never said a thing?
Gave the blind a reason to look the other way,
You say you're not against me, and no one's to blame,
Then why do I keep hearing my name used in vain?
Listen...
You can hear the singing, and the bells of Cambridge ringing,
Soothing like a lullaby, painful as a scream.
I'm a song you can't tune out,
Song you can't tune out,
Song you can't tune out, no way, no how,
Yeah, a song you can't tune out,
Song you can't tune out,
Song you can't tune out, no way, no how,
You can't tune out.
