How did you think I wouldn't know?
There's only so many tell-tale hearts
that you can stuff down below
I'll just wait here
for the right time
Perhaps I'm a fool after all,
I've been picking up all the clues
and my pride before the fall,
What? Did you think I won't?
Because I can,
The wires read "No problem here"
But that's what they said about 'Nam,
It's business as usual...
I'll just wait here
for the right time,
And then I'll take it,
It's mine,
(and I'll take it)
Then I'll take it,
Take it.

Senators and diplomats,
Gather 'round,
Chase the dance and to the buck
Now I'm in town,
Well now you best be on your best behaviour,
And show me all your demons now
and not later,
Well I'm here to rule the world,
I'm gonna turn it 'round,
I'm here to rule the world,
Even if I have to tear the whole thing down,
We'll tear tear it up and light fire to it,
Burn,
We'll tear it up and light a fire,
Let's redraw all the lines
Well I'm here to rule the world,
I'm gonna turn it 'round,
I'm here to rule the world,
Even if I have to burn the whole thing down.

We've got to make it great,
We've got to make it right,
We've got to make it fit,
We've got to make it tight,
It's gotta make us proud,
It's gotta hit the spot,
It's gotta fill that void
We've gotta take that shot,
If it's not just the way...
The way it ought to be...
The way we'd all prefer...
The way that we had dreamed...
It's gotta tick the box
Of what you're looking for,
It's gotta do it's job,
It's gotta give you more,
It's gotta make us proud,
It's gotta hit the spot,
It's gotta fill that void
With all its got,
It can't be too bland,
It can't be too raw,
It shouldn't be too much,
It can't be ignored,
It's gotta make a point,
It's gotta strike a nerve,
It can't be forgot,
It can't not be heard,
The way we'd all prefer...
The way that we had dreamed...
It can't just get lost.

Come light a candle,
For another's gone,
Stock up on matches,
We'll need them before too long,
Everlast, the century,
It's time we made a stand,
I'm loaded up and ready to fight,
The lucky ones are the damned,
Bring down the lightning strike,
Blow my heart up,
Rain down hell,
Eyeing through the narrow
Gaps between the boards,
Taste the steel and blood through
The gods and the overlords,
Peace is for the wicked,
It's never quite the same,
Might be now, not never,
The dust will erase your name,
The wheels on the truck,
Well, they don't give a f*ck
If you're a liar or a cheat,
What the word is on the street,
You see that no-one really cares
From one week to the next,
For all the sinners and the saints,
No-one ever really waits,
Rain down hell

I've wasted so much time
On the superfluous and meta,
The banal and the asinine,
Teach me how to be free,
Because from where I stand
There's millions,
And it comes to them easily,
I've been spitting out bits since '94,
Gettin' better at it more or less,
But mainly more,
I've been spitting out bits since 1994,
Gettin' better at it more or less,
But mainly more,
I'm more than happy with the theft,
Because without these stolen goods,
I'd likely have nothing left,
Set it up and then it's done,
It hasn't changed a god damn thing,
It's worthless but it's fun,
We don't ever seem to win,
And we're too stupid or stubborn to ever pack it in.
