Gold they promised us But I guess We didn't keep our end of the deal The line between the vain And the humble lays Wherever the rulers feel You introduced us to god And you told us that we could pick lots But you didn't like when we saw ourselves as strong Now you're mad that we chose our own way While up on your mountain you stayed Is it any surprise that we'll become our own gods Caged us for the crime Of simply tryin' To break ourselves up out of hell It seems we have to look Like some ancient book Decides can't break out of our shells But you introduced us to god And you told us that we could pick lots But you didn't like when we saw ourselves as strong Now you're mad that we chose our own way While up on your mountain you stayed Is it any surprise that we'll become our own gods We ripped your holy book in two By simply tryna learn how to be like you But you looked down on us Called us dishonest And now you punish Take our strongest then Go on defence Guess we'll have to get stronger But you introduced us to god And you told us that we could pick lots But you didn't like when we saw ourselves as strong Now you're mad that we chose our own way While up on your mountain you stayed Is it any surprise that we'll become our own gods
