Brace for impact
Watch the show unfold
Another year goes by
Another hopeless soul
Caught the crossfire
It’s just every day American slack
Guilty by design
We’re guilty all the time
The volunteer lawman sets the playing field
For every madman with a killing feel
We stay out long enough to become the heel
And by the end of the night
There’s nowhere left to hide
We’re tethered by ideals aimed to please (This is how the)
Tethered, beaten down to our knees (Turns out that this is how the)
You think we’re living some kind of new hell, my friend
I think it’s time we choose how it ends (Turns out that this is how the world)
Tethered by ideals aimed to please (Turns out that this is how the)
Tethered, beaten down to our knees (Turns out that this is how the world is)
You think we’re living some kind of new hell (Turns out that)
But this is how the world has always been
