Some will sell their Coca-Cola
Some will sell their energy
Some will look the other way when
There are things they should not see
Ooh, ooh

You're ruled by fear, you're ruled by passion
Yeah, it ain't okay
Ha, ha, you're laughing that laugh
'Cause you know it's in fashion
Yeah, I'll look away 'cause I'm okay

In the pretty pictures
I would rather hide
In the pretty pictures

Flights of fancy, climbing ladders
Some might throw their chance away
Life can sometimes lift the spirit
Shine the light, point the way
Ooh, ooh

You're ruled by fear, you're ruled by passion
Yeah, it ain't okay
Ha, ha, you're laughing that laugh
'Cause you know it's in fashion
Yeah, I'll run away 'cause I'm okay

In the pretty pictures
I know how to hide
In the pretty pictures
I have got my sanctuary
In the pretty pictures
I would rather live
In the pretty pictures

Some will sell their Coca-Cola
Some will sell their energy
I know I'm all right
I have got my sanctuary
In the pretty pictures
I know I'm all right
