Bystander

I'm out there with the thirty-yard stare and the thousand dollar smirk

You look meaningless, I mean it, I'll put you to work

I will steer you wrong, string you along like a marionette

My eye is on the clock, your time's up, but you don't know it yet

Conservation don't mean nothing

Now you spent every cent of yourself

Conservation don't mean nothing

You take two steps forward, but I'm always ten steps ahead

Ten steps ahead

And it's so hard to follow when you're so easily led

Easily led

Immoral? Sure, and I'll shovel the dirt on your grave

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Bystander, you're standing in my way

C'mon, c'mon, chameleon, come out that camouflage

You rub your eyes, to your surprise, it's all one big mirage

You started a joke that made the world laugh, I know you know the rest

Life is what you make it, and I'll make yours a mess

Conservation don't mean nothing

Now you spent every cent of yourself

Conservation, it don't mean nothing

You take two steps forward, but I'm always ten steps ahead

Ten steps ahead

And it's so hard to follow when you're so easily led

Easily led

Immoral? Sure, and I'll shovel the dirt on your grave

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Bystander, you're standing in my way

You waited for so long while I played the long con

Now you find out the world is not so kind

It's outstanding, amazing, you're drowning in red tape, and

You failed to rise up, at least I thought of lies

And now you're blind

Well, the reason you're leaving is the same as the reason I showed up

I thought I'd never go home empty-handed, so what's with the hold up?

You take two steps forward, but I'm always ten steps ahead

Ten steps ahead

And it's so hard to follow when you're so easily led

Easily led

Immoral? Sure, and I'll shovel the dirt on your grave

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Bystander, you're standing in my way
