So you fight and you fight, you fight each day to save face
You fight to keep your place, you fight to keep from being replaced
Why don't you fight to have some peace
Instead you try to stay guilt-free
So you try, no reply, and there's no victory
We'll never make it out alive and this whole place will be history
I've got to take this patiently
And I've got to do this carefully
And in the end
You got nothin
Name or recognition
And you can ask yourself
Just what it is you hoped that you would be getting
We'll take our time this time
We'll take our time
It's make or break this time, okay
We'll take our time this time
Don't mess this up, please can't mess this up
So catch up, hurry up
And deal with what is at hand 'cause you've been slacking
And I don't think that you quite understand
And in that time you realize
We might not get through this alive
This is it, don't forget, the character that you picked
The names you drop, the friends you've got, and how everything that you're not
Was supposed to get you so far
And make you become a big star
Or else it's 5-4-3-2-1 the bomb goes off, that's affirmative, yeah we're all
And with your last few seconds of life, you watch the world turn off the lights
This wasn't how it should have gone down, you think to yourself as you look around
And through one good eye you watch the dust, cover everyone you thought was safe to trust
