Stick your hands up, let 'em down.
Don't we all feel so much smarter having played a part in this.
It's a nice hat, it's a crown.
Out of all the hats I wear it's easily the heaviest.
I know that everything I build here will burn
Once you understand the problem you can learn how to be part of
It's a lesson I'm unlikely to learn.
Now my veins are full of rust and it's worse than I thought.
Keep it pent up, let it out.
I used to have opinions too, still probably have more than you do.
But if it's free I like it less, but if it costs me flesh I like it best!
You want regrets? I've got a few.
I know that everything I build here will burn
But once you understand the problem you can learn how to be part of
It's a lesson I'm unlikely to learn.
Now my veins are full of rust and it's worse than we thought.
Oh I have been so afraid, down and out and planned to stay
In the gutter with my name just staring at the sun.
Count my blessings, what a waste, oh I have just begun to play.
Keep your hands up, what a show!
Don't we all feel so much stronger
Having dealt a part of some extravagantly brutal crushing blow
I know that everything I build here will burn
Once you understand the problem you can learn how to be part of
It's a lesson I'm unlikely to learn.
Now my veins are full of rust and it's worse than I thought.
Now my heart is pumping dust but my body won't stop.
My body won't stop
