lyrics

I know we’re better than this, I think solutions exist
We might not have them today but someone needs to insist
We’ve heard everything before, we just can’t take anymore
We’ve been waiting in line outside a lead-lined door

Clock is ticking, algorithm, they would listen on one condition
You were thinking, they were thinking, we were thinking, I was thinking

Here lies the prize nobody wants

One more run around the sun and we’ll see what we become

Somebody’s thinking about a way to dig ourselves out
I really hope that we can, it’s not looking great as of now
We’ve never seen this before, it’s just too much to ignore
We’ve been seeing the signs more and more and more

Clock is ticking, no decision, they won’t listen it’s their tradition
You were thinking, they were thinking, we were thinking, I was thinking

Here stands the man nobody loves
Misunderstood for all he does

One more run around the sun and we’ll see what we become
One more swing around this thing until everything is done

It almost seems like a foregone conclusion
It kind of feels like the bad guys already won
Are we even going to make it all the way around the sun?

One more run around the sun and we’ll see what we become
One more swing around this thing until everything is done
One more twirl around this pearl yeah let’s do it just for fun
