I know that one thing always leads to another Don't you think it's got a little bit out of hand? Everybody's waiting on the next big happening Putting their house by the water on the sand There was a time when our word meant something You made a promise with a grip and a forward glance Shut it down, hit the restart button We are the victims, and we never stood a chance Turn the key Has it all just been a lie? Patiently, we're given life, watch it die Before it learns to fly Are we headed towards the great big nothin'? Can you turn your back another day? We're all sneakin', and we should be struttin' Come on, meet me half the way On a course for the ever after Spinnin' circles towards the ground We're all pullin' for the better actor Sink or swim, breathe or drown To some degree Has it all just been a lie? Patiently, we're given life, watch it die Before it learns to fly ♪ God enjoys sex and color Does it matter in the end? Rich and poor, one another With no room to condescend To some degree Has it all just been a lie? Patiently, we're given life, watch it die Before it learns to fly
