The Prize

If we could escape this time everything might fall in line If it feels like it did before I don't want no more, what's behind that door All the targets move to fast to take them out with a single blast Stop pretending there is no limit to this Then you'll never miss, then we'll never miss I know you're tired, you didn't sleep but a wink no Tell me how it happened Once I stopped to look ahead happiness had turned to dread The future found lost souls with payments stopping Can't you hear them counting, can't you hear them say We got you Hang out with the reasons you expect so much Drama by design, this won't be the last time we fuck it up Just when you think you got it right, you're wrong We just have to blow it in order to know it We need to suffer for the prize Violins sing once you give up the fight We just have to lose it in order to prove it Don't have to suffer all our life For a box full of lies Shame on you you crazy fool, eye on the wrong prize Loosen your clutch and take a deep breath Time for you to get wise I know you're angry, you didn't get what you wanted no Working hard to stay afloat in the banker's stinking mote Every time you come up they push you back in They don't want you to win, they don't know how to swim Hang out with the reasons you expect so much Failure by design, this won't be the last time we fuck it up Just when you think you got it right, you're wrong We just have to blow it in order to know it We need to suffer for the prize Violins sing once you give up the fight We just have to lose it in order to prove it Don't have to suffer all your life For a box full of lies Shame on you you crazy fool, eye on the wrong prize Loosen your clutch and take a deep breath Time for you to get wise Eyes gone red, but blue round your neck, mad at the wrong guy Take your head out of the fox's ass Time to open your eyes I know you're angry, you didn't get what you wanted no But sometimes it happens Bye Bye Birdie This is what they wanted
