Lyrics

[Verse 1]
everything all figured out
like it was meant to be
we're on the precipice
(i can feel it)
we're on the precipice
[Verse 2]
created us in his image
better be proud of his work
that is if he existed
(not so sure anymore)
that is if he existed
[Verse 3]
and we just can't help ourselves
and we just can't help ourselves
and we just can't help ourselves
and we just can't help ourselves
[Verse 4]
obsolete, insignificant
antiquated, irrelevant
celebration of ignorance
why try change when you know you can't?
[Verse 5]
did you ever get that feeling?
man, i can't seem to shake it
not quite as clever as we think we are
knuckle-dragging animal
[Verse 6]
when we could have done anything
we wound up building this, we deserve
with illusions of enlightenment
with our snouts in the dirt
with our snouts in the dirt
[Verse 7]
obsolete, insignificant
antiquated, irrelevant
celebration of ignorance
why try change when you know you can't?
[Verse 8]
we got ahead of ourselves
we got ahead of ourselves
we got ahead of ourselves
[Verse 9]
we got ahead of ourselves
we got ahead of ourselves
we got ahead of ourselves
[Verse 10]
we got ahead of ourselves
we got ahead of ourselves
we got ahead of ourselves
we got ahead of ourselves
[Verse 11]
(i'm not so sure any more)
we got ahead of ourselves…
[Verse 12]
(not so sure anymore)
[Verse 13]
(not so sure anymore)
