lyrics

I know your type. You think that you will never get your way, so you just walk. Thought that no candidate matched your voice; you're an adult, so make a hard choice.

Come on, get real! You were there. We were counting on you. Do you really think you're better off sulking and sitting this one out? Would you let your hero see your face now? You're embarrassed? I'm embarrassed! We're all turning red.

You stood on the precipice and you watched the world burn. You think you bear no blame in this, well, it is yours. You say you had no voice in this, and that's your main concern. Refusal to speak is not the same as being oppressed.


Place the blame. You're pointing fingers. The white collars have won again. The 1% have beaten us down, but it seems by just one percent.

Come on, get real! You were there. She was counting on you. Do you really think you're better off grabbing you ball and heading home? Still the see the pro's of your protest? I don't claim to know the future, but pretty soon we'll all be seeing red.

You stood on the precipice and you watched the world burn. You think you bear no blame in this, well, it is yours. You say you had no voice in this, and that's your main concern. Refusal to play has never ever won a game.


Mostly, I'm jealous. To be so deserving of complete satisfaction must be swell. I don't even like myself that much.

You stood on the precipice and watched the world burn. You say you had no part in this, but our scorn is what you've earned.
