Be the only one
The one they'll bow below
They'll pray down at your feet
And rub the bronze till it's good and worn
Cut their tongues away
Let the word dissipate
It doesn't serve them well
To let you hear what they have to say
Be the only one
Standing on the backs of them
Snapping necks as twigs
And grinding down to sediment
Down the line again
Pick em out two by two
Bend the knees again
And let them know what they mean to you
In the night
Under cover from the light
We'll make quick work
Tearing you limb from limb
And when all is said and done
Will you be content to be the only one
Don't look at me that way
Find something else to do
Stick to licking boots
And shuffle in with the rest of them
Down the line again
Pick em out two by two
Bend the knees again
And let them know what they mean to you
In the night
Under cover from the light
We'll make quick work
Tearing you limb from limb
When it's all been said and done
Will you be content to be the only one
