Do the right thing

Even though
Your phoenix has flown
And the body count's growin'
The earth's on a Ferris wheel
Together we feel more alone
You make the perfect prey
Worshiping kings for a day
Nowhere to go but this broken home
Find a secret hideaway

The choice is yours
Do what you want
Do what you want
Do the right thing
You fade fast
No medicines last
There's no turnin' round
On the highway
It's a death trap
No holdin' back
No holdin' back
Today is the best day you"ll ever have

Feeding sharks
Like a tank you still march
Down the streets of the new world
With the ash of a spark
And now your greatness has fell
Down the steps of the palace
Losing power you never had
The look of defeat in your eyes

Bang the drum
Your funeral's begun
You checked all your math
Followed right ways
Slippery slope
Dose after dose
You're still comatose
Holding red flags
It's the last dance
Nothing to romance
Nothing to romance
Today is the best day you"ll ever have
And then it's gone
So if you feel enchained
You have every right to come undone

On my way down
Watching my dreams burn up
Wish I could stop the hurricane

Please stand by for a message from outer space
You can cry but you never can get out of this place
We're on our own the future is ours to save
Lifetime loan and they're coming to make sure you have paid
And throw you back in your cage

On my way down
Watching my dreams burn up
Wish i could stop the hurricane

If you had a dollar
For every time that it rained
You would be a rich man
Wear the mark of Cain
If I had a dollar
For every time I've been fooled
I could buy the power
I could rule the world
