When your cities burn
you'll act astounded
lessons learned too late
to change the fate
your ignorance has earned
And we'll all take our turns
cries resounding
we've been hurt and pain reverberates
in ways that destroy worlds
And all your hopeful talk
simply moves you job to job you hate
delineates a future you don't want
It's all you got kid
better get amazing
better fucking curb the crazy
better bank upon the maybe
all will turn out well
And all is well as well can be
you gave away the things you love
so carelessly
just to live more comfortably
So sell your guitar and hit the bar
do what you do for another fix
but you can't fix this
All you are is all there is
We're still chasing tales
walking blind down well mapped trails
that break towards awful things
our current course conceals
And when the whole thing fails
just act adult and blame yourself
for things you would have changed
if different cards were dealt
But with an awful hand
better bet upon the bluff the con the big rip off
Best to look out for yourself
It's all you got kid
better get amazing
better fucking curb the crazy
better bank upon the maybe
all will turn out well.
