Sam the weak accomplice, he knew he had a choice He always startled easily With the sound of every voice A pocket full of access They take and take and take Left him with a trigger pointin' Starin' at his shakes and it goes on It goes on She was givin' nothin' But their selfish lack They sleep with one eye open 'Cause they know she's comin' back But she will wait her turn Absent from concern The furnace inside her, it burns and burns and burns And it goes on - on, it goes on The weaklings never practiced what they preach They cower down below; that's what you call defeat And in their darkest hour it's hard to breathe We try to catch up with the world But we're so far out of reach (we're so far out of reach) Leanin' in the dark, stands a spaken man Slicin' her with his words Always grabbin' with his hands And it goes on - on, it goes on The weaklings never practice what they preach They cower down below; that's what you call defeat And in their darkest hour it's hard to breathe We try to catch up with the world But we're so far out of reach... I wish I had warned you of this broken path With each step you take; you know there's no turnin' back The weaklings never practiced what they preach They cower down below; that's what you call defeat And in their darkest hour it's hard to breathe We try to catch up with the world But we're so far out of reach We try to catch up with the world We try to catch up with the world We try to catch up with the world But we're so far out of reach We try to catch up with the world We try to catch up with the world We try to catch up with the world But we're so far out of reach
