Everybody's coming to get me
Everybody's placing a bounty on my head
Their coming to get me
Everybody's placing a bounty on my head
Well, in my father's house there are many rooms
Oh, and none of them can be bought with silver or gold
Still I cling to my failures like a dog to a discarded bone
And I wonder which one of them
Will be the one that breaks me down
Now, I won't pretend to understand why I was giving such an
Unrelenting passion for something that never ceases to disappoint me
And I've long abandoned the idea that the
Road I walk will someday lead us to glory
But this is who I am, and so I walk
I feel conviction like a body blow
Determination like a fire beneath my feet
I'm tired of living in the afterglow
So sick of waiting for a fairy tale ending
I know we learn from birth
That what we earn is what we're worth
And that's a filthy lie, I know
But it feels like...
Everybody's coming to get me
Everybody's placing a bounty on my head
Revolution is rising
It runs thick in my blood and my bones
I'm through compromising
But its like a battle
Its like a war inside my chest is raging on
(Some days are better than others)
I feel conviction like a body blow
Determination like a fire beneath my feet
I'm tired of living in the afterglow
So sick of waiting for a fairy tale ending
I know we learn from birth
That what we earn is what we're worth
And that's a filthy lie, I know
Oh, don't I know
But if these bones can't keep me upright
And if my body fails
These lungs will sing until the final breath that I exhale
And if they should come for my surrender
If they threaten me
Well this blood will speak of liberty
When they push it from my veins
