You sacrifice your genius on the altar of ambition

Completely unaccountable for whatever you may do

You fake the unintentional to fit your disposition

Painfully unreliable in whatever you pursue

Put it all in a line, then knock it over

Wrapped up in adulation, you better take a bow

Do the math, seems the lines keep getting shorter

Smothered in agitation, playing the villain now

Here comes the thunder, crashing in

Dragging you under, down, again

Here comes the thunder, crashing in

Seizing the wonder, let the end begin

Improvising failed attempts at cutting down the dosage

Meanwhile, your own family is taking you to court

Yesterday's convenient lies are still paying your mortgage

Rock 'n' roll's not suicide, it's life support

Put it all in a line, then knock it over

Wrapped up in adulation, you better take a bow

Do the math, seems the lines keep getting shorter

Smothered in agitation, playing the villain now

Put it all in a line, then knock it over

Wrapped up in adulation, you better take a bow

Do the math, seems the lines keep getting shorter

Smothered in agitation, playing the villain now

Here comes the thunder, crashing in

Dragging you under, down, again

Here comes the thunder, crashing in

Seizing the wonder, let the end begin
