Lyrics Pattern in Time - Living Colour

Pattern in Time

If you want to play you need skin in the game
Everybody loves you but they don’t know your name
Play my blues sing your pain
But nobody wants to live in my shade
I see your pattern in time
Looking back at history’s crimes
Bright lights, straight lines
I see your pattern in time
Everything they told you completely wrong
Every time you lose it’s all your fault
Every day you’re made to feel so small
Every damn day you hit that wall
I see your pattern in time
Looking back at history’s crimes
Bright lights, straight lines
I see your pattern in time
Pattern in time
Pattern in time
Pattern in time
Pattern in time
Pattern in time
Pattern in time
Pattern in time
Pattern in time
I see your pattern in time
Looking back at history’s crimes
Bright lights, straight lines
I see your pattern in time
Sometimes this life can be severe
Sometimes it’s not very clear
Always questioning why you’re here
But you got to face your fear
I see your pattern in time
Looking back at history’s crime
Bright lights, straight lines
I see your pattern in time
