Now you see me
Differences of opinion
Matters supersede
Why would I be quiet
This isn't destiny
Stop acting like it's set in stone
It's a matter of mentality
Not presidency over home
If you could get by
Without cutting throats
Do you see a reason not to try
Because I don't
Shouldn't you **** up your pride
Work it out

You've never seen a life so worthless
I thought every life meant something
But everybody's on their own
Taking shots at the fall of Rome
There isn't a reason for you to try
Maybe you should just
Sit back
For the ride

The world's run on greed
So it's **** your needs
For the American dream
I mean, take a  look at Steve
He doesn't care you're starving lean
And honestly why should he
When he's got a new car
Does big things at work
Then goes off to the bar
Gets drunk with forty friends
Then goes home to his wife on the fringe
While you're stuck out in the cold
What's life, and what's home
Welcome to the world where you'll never know

You've never seen a life so worthless
I thought every life meant something
But everybody's on their own
Taking shots at the fall of Rome
There isn't a reason for you to try
Maybe you should just
Sit back
For the ride

Why should we pay to feed
It's just a basic necessity
Can we barter, at least
Not everybody can eat
Each man's your brother
Each woman a sister
Oh, but why bother
We're just needless wishers

I've never seen a life that's worthless
Every life always meant something
Nobody should be on their own
We could stop the fall of Rome
There isn't a reason you shouldn't try
You can't just
Sit back
For the ride
Waaayy out of the 'lyric' book from when I first started writing... meh
