Every thought and the words that weaken
Steals a part of what we're seeking
Scrolled the headlines today
Caught up in all the fray
The myth built to deflect
The truth we're meant to accept
You spent your time
Holding down the ones that shine
But you still decline
These new terms line by line
You spent your time
Holding down the ones that shine
But you still decline
New terms are what we're setting
New terms you're not just getting
New terms are what we're setting
New terms you're not just getting
We've met you, many times
Thinking you're taking, the hardline
Bootstraps and land mines
All while you dine
Everything's just fine
Your hangers-on
Lick the crumbs from your plates
They do your dirty work every time
When it's time to pay your karma
You'll try to decline
To save yourself
You'll make excuses and opine
To save yourself
Instead of die
You'll try to resign
To save yourself
When it's time to pay your karma
You'll try to decline
To save yourself
You'll make excuses and opine
We've set the new terms
You'll have to comply
