What's this life for anyway
They say stop and pray
Mortality's only a nuisance
When you're beneath the smoking gun
What's this life for anyway
They say stop and pray
Mortality's only a nuisance
When you're beneath the smoking gun
Two hours before I clock-in
Tryin'a write a song
Where to begin
Too many concepts to try to express
In a song that you'll listen to a minute or less
See we got kids teaching kids how to be horrible people
We think we're better than everyone else, unequal
Whether you serve yourself or you serve a steeple
You're not original, you're the sequel
(You're not original, you're a sequel
You're not original, you're a sequel
You're not original, you're a sequel)
You're smarter than everyone else just because of what you think
What you do, what you say, what you eat, what you drink
Arrogance must have died and gave you his crown
Eating expensive food doesn't make you profound
You see you got it all mixed up in your head
It's not about what you say, it's what's left unsaid
Caring to care but not for the sake of it
Feeling to feel, but not just to covet
(Caring to care but not for the sake of it
Feeling to feel, but not just to covet
Caring to care but not for the sake of it
Feeling to feel, but not just to covet)
What's this life for anyway
They say stop and pray
Mortality's only a nuisance
When you're beneath the smoking gun
What's this life for anyway
They say stop and pray
Mortality's only a nuisance
When you're beneath the smoking gun
What's the point in being polite
Are you afraid to start a fight tonight in the spotlight
You should say something real
Say how you feel
Even when they don't expect the reveal
People are only shocked to see who you really are
Because they don't wear their darkness on their sleeves
Black and white on the inside
It's who we are
This truth only some can perceive
But you see some people can't fight it
They got scars and bruises to deep to hide it
What they can't hide makes them strong, steadfast
Our lack of transparency, dishonesty makes them outcast
(Our lack of transparency makes them outcast
Our lack of transparency makes them outcast
Our lack of transparency makes them outcast
Our lack of transparency)
