I pledge allegiance to the past The first shall work to make it last The wolves have learned to leave their caves They're showing teeth and getting braver It's time we put them in their place We'll round them up and make them pay Leave them howling at the gates Of our superior placement ♪ A light emerges from the cracks The tide reverses from its path (The city's marching in the streets for an awakening) You better run if you can't hide The hounds are loose and won't subside (I hear her calling from the catwalk as I make believe) Now that the other's been expelled Why do I feel it hasn't helped? Perhaps the problem is myself And my superior placement ♪ They'll never understand ♪ They'll never understand That I don't need my eyes to see The truth will never set me free And I don't ever want to be Anything but everything My teeth are pressed against the pavement (they'll never understand) Every achievement to be wasted (they'll never understand) And we could have everything You'd rather hand them the keys to our superior placement And I will never understand How could I ever understand? No, I don't have to understand No, I don't wanna understand (I won't understand) So I will never understand (and I will never understand) I will never understand (I will never understand) No, I won't ever understand (I won't ever understand) No! ♪ (And we could have everything)
