lyrics

Here I am, waiting to stand in line again
And what a burden it will be
when I have to choose from all these people who look like me
-nameless, faceless-

So bring me a genius, bring me a priest
bring me everyone who's ever fallen down on their knees
Lord, at night and prayed, prayed, prayed
Still nothing ever went away
'Cause we all got our bills to pay
And everybody owes someone
Ain't it a lovely view from under their thumb?

And it doesn't take long for that feeling to be gone
If you let it go, so you better hold on

You can throw it all back on me and say that I'm the problem
And I'll agree, but I still can't stay away
'Cause we all got our bills to pay
And we all get our day in the sun
Our one shining moment and then we're done

And it doesn't take long for that feeling to be gone
If you let it go, so you better hold on
And there's gonna come a time
When your words, they won't rhyme
And your lights won't shine
Quite like they used to

Back when you thought you had it good
