Fences (Live from Chicago) Lyrics by Paramore

The Final RIOT!

2008

[Intro]
One, two
One, two
One, two, three, four
This song is called Fences

[Verse 1]
I'm sitting in a room
Made up of only big white walls and in the halls
There's people looking through the window in the door
They know exactly what we're here for

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't look up, just let them think
There's no place else you'd rather be
You're always on display
For everyone to watch and learn from
Don't you know by now?
You can't turn back
Because this road is all you'll ever have

[Chorus]
And it's obvious that you're dying, dying
Just living proof that the camera's lying
And oh, oh, open wide
'Cause this is your night, so smile
'Cause you'll go out in style
Hands up!
You'll go out in style

[Verse 2]
Well, if you let me, I could
I'd show you how to build your fences, set restrictions
Separate from the world
The constant battle that you hate to fight
Just blame the limelight

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't look up, just let them think
There's no place else you'd rather be
'Cause now you can't turn back
Because this road is all you'll ever have

[Chorus]
And it's obvious that you're dying, dying
Just living proof that the camera's lying
And oh, oh, open wide
'Cause this is your night, so smile

[Bridge: Hayley Williams & Crowd]
Yeah, yeah, you're asking for it
With every breath that you breathe in
Just breathe it in
Yeah, yeah, well, you're just a mess
You do all this big talking
So now let's see you walk it
I said I wanna see you!
Yeah, yeah, well, you're just a mess
You do all this big talking
So now let's see you walk it
I said let's see you walk it

[Chorus]
It's obvious that you're dying, dying
Just living proof that the camera's lying
And oh, oh, open wide
Yeah, oh, oh, open wide
Yeah, oh, oh, open wide
'Cause you'll go out in style
Well, you'll go out in style
