So you fight oh 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 we try to have some peace
Instead we 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
And 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
