Acrobat by U2
Don’t believe what you hear
Don’t believe what you see
If you (1)________ close your eyes you can feel the enemy
When I (2)__________ met you girl, you had fire in your soul
What (3)________________ t’your (4)________ of melting snow
Now it looks like this!
And you can swallow or you can spit
You can (5)__________ it up, or choke on it
And you can dream, so dream out loud
You know that your time is coming round
So don’t let the bastards (6)__________ you down
No, nothing (7)__________ sense, (8)______________ seems to fit
I (9)________ you’d hit out if you only knew who to hit
And I’d join the movement
If there was one I could believe in
Yeah, I’d break (10)__________ and wine
If there was a (11)____________ I (12)__________ (13)______________ in
'Cause I need it now
To (14)________ the cup
To fill it up, to drink it slow
I can’t let you go
And I (15)________ be an acrobat
To talk (16)________ this and act (17)________ that
And you can dream, so dream out loud
And don’t let the (18)________________ grind you down
What are we going to do now it’s all been said?
No new (19)__________ in the house, and every book’s been read
And I must be an acrobat
To talk (20)________ this and act like that
And you can dream, so (21)__________ out loud
And you can find your own way out
And you can build, and I can will
And you can call, I can’t wait until
You can (22)__________ and you can seize
In dreams (23)__________ responsibilities
And I can love, and I can love
And I (24)________ that the tide is (25)______________ ’round
So don’t let the bastards (26)__________ you down
