I often wonder if there's just a little thing That most of the good people could do right And then I look into the foolish eyes of kings And I think to myself, well, better luck next time I forge ahead, I stay in bed There's nothing I can do to make it all go away You think you'll buy yourself into a greater wealth Wow that's impressive, does it really work for you? But I don't fight back, not anymore I won't even take up the slack, like everybody else Who just obeys, I need to get away No promises I have to keep for anyone Well I don't fight it back, not anymore I'm always off the beaten track for everybody else I don't betray, I need to get away No words are left for me or anyone There is no second chance, you know there never was You really thought no one could see what you have done I fail to feel any empathy Well, this is not one of my primary concerns What does the winner get when everybody's lost Not even knowing they were part of this stupid game You just let go, nobody told you so But this is always how it has to end But I don't fight back, not anymore I won't even take up the slack, like everybody else Who just obeys, I need to get away No promises I have to keep for anyone Well I don't fight it back, not anymore I'm always off the beaten track for everybody else I don't betray, I need to get away No words are left for me or anyone But I don't fight it back, not anymore I'm always off the beaten track for everybody else I don't betray, I need to get away No words are left for me or anyone
