Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I just nod, I've never been so good at shakin' hands
I live on the frozen surface of a fireball
Where cities come together, to hate each other in the name of sport
America, nothing is ever just anything
I looked up to you but you thought that I would look the other way
[Verse 2]
And you hear, what you wanna hear
And they take what they wanna take
[Verse 3]
Don't be sad, won't ever happen like this anymore
So when's it coming, this last new great movement that I can join?
It won't end here, your faith has gotta be greater than your fear
[Verse 4]
Forgive them, even if they are not sorry
All the vultures, bootleggers at the door waitin'
You are looking for your own voice, but in others
While it hears you trapped in another dimension
[Verse 5]
Drop your guard, you don't have to be smart all of the time
I got a mind full of blanks, I need to go somewhere new fast
And don't be shy, oh no, at least deliberately
'Cause no one really cares or wonders why anymore
Oh I've got music, coming outta my hands and feet and kisses, oh
[Verse 6]
That is how it once was done
All the dreamers on the run
[Verse 7]
Forgive them, even if they are not sorry
All the vultures, bootleggers at the door waitin'
We're so quick to point out our own flaws in others
Complicated, mammals on the wings of robots
[Verse 8]
If you believe in this world, then no one has died in vain
But don't you dare get to the top, and know what to do
