How naive can you be
You little snowflake
You think you're part of a plan
Blind deaf and dumb
Staring down at your thumbs
I thought I raised a man
You blame it on Mom & Dad
And the system
Your lack of mental health
Go clean your room
You can't fix the world
Before you fix yourself
Look out for number one
You'll thank me later son
Just keep your head down
And you'll earn my crown
Carry the flame
Son when you're a man
You take what you can
Carry the flame
How naive could I be
You say you worked hard
You built this all on your own?
You keep us down just to lift you up
Dad how's the view from your throne?
See us march up the hill
Towards your castle
You sit hoarding your gold
As the ash returns to ash I hear the stories you once told
You're going to be fine
If you give me what is mine
Just keep your head down
And you'll earn my crown
Carry the flame
Son when you're a man
You take what you can
Carry the flame
Can you feel the water rising
The asteroid is near
Your house of gold is melting
There's no place for it here
The ground you know is shifting
Your debts are coming due
You welcome in the darkness
The darkness overcomes you
We'll carry the flame
Your house is on fire
We'll carry the flame
Are you warm yet
We'll carry the flame
You lit the match
We'll carry the flame
Are you warm yet
Are you warm yet?
Give up what you had
You'll thank me later dad
I'll carry the flame
Just keep your head down (I'll hold my head high)
And you'll earn my crown (Stop living a lie)
Carry the flame (I'll carry the flame)
Son when you're a man (If you're just a man)
You take what you can (Who takes all he can)
Carry the flame (I'll carry the flame)
We'll take a stand
We'll give what we can
We'll carry the flame
Are you warm yet?
