Look Under The Hood

Here's the major drawback

Of being that headstrong

You'll spend a lifetime proving people wrong

Preceded by your reputation

And followed by your past

Haunted by the shadow you once cast

Hey, let's get our stories straight

We've tarnished the clean slate

For good

Look under the hood

I could if you could

We've taken the full journey –

From rags to even more disgusting rags

But we've run out of sandbags

Still cling on to the ideals

All heart and diamond-shaped

To the sound of barrels being scraped

Hey, let's get our stories straight

We've tarnished the clean slate

For good

Look under the hood

I could if you could

Hey, we rode in on the wave

That flooded Plato's cave

For good

Look under the hood

I could if you could

Look under the hood

I would if you would
