[Verse]
SCo, so you think you can tDell Heaven from HAm7ell,
blue skies from pGain.
Can you tell a green fDield from a cold steel rCail?
A smile from a vAm7eil?
Do you think you can tGell?

And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trAm7ees?
Hot air for a cGool breeze?
Cold comfort for chDange?
And did you exchCange a walk on part in the wAm7ar
for a lead role in a cGage?
