Last Man Annotated

[Clown MC]
As the day grows cold in an instant
And the clouds menace in grim persistence

[Markos]
I am alone; my own resistance
Uninvited, unfound
Heart not making a sound

[Markos & Clown MC]
One time fool me and it's shame on you
Two times fool me and it's shame on me
Three times -- there's never three times

[Markos]
Cause I'm never foolish
And you're never fooling me

Damned if I live this life
Waiting on the sidelines
Been plotting watching for my moment
This was my time
Stuck in my crosshair
He was almost lost there
My finger on the trigger
Would have blown my brother sky high
I was in line
The city should've been mine
But my brother stepped in front
And led the people blind
Why?
Why follow his foolishness
Inflated hope -- our dead mother's tutelage
I'll show who the ruler is
The first born
It's ludicrous
On my head the crown should be first worn
In truthfulness
And with God and my mother as my witness
Imma get what's mine by traveling the distance

[Markos & Clown MC]
One time fool me and it's shame on you
Two times fool me and it's shame on me
Three times -- there's never three times

[Markos]
Cause I'm never foolish
And you're never fooling me

I'll be the last man
Standing when the world collapses
I have walked a harder road
Got them thinking my heart is gold
I'll never show
What I'll do to take the last stand

And now my brother will marry, marry
Half brother motherfucker
Man we relate barely
Barely even noticed in his shadow
When you the oldest man it shouldn't be a battle
And then this girl that he proposes he will wed?
A bygone icon of a city that is dead
She's an illusion he's choosing
To stake his movement on a diluted solution
A fucking unproven union
I'm disillusioned perhaps
But my mother already proved it
Peaceful revolution is always bound to be
Polluted
Guess I'm the last man standing who knows this
But watch me stay focused forever unnoticed

[Markos & Clown MC]
One time fool me and it's shame on you
2 times fool me and it's shame on me
Three times -- there's never three times

[Markos]
Cause I'm never foolish
And you're never fooling me

[Markos & Men]
I'll be the last man
Standing when the world collapses

[Markos]
I have walked a harder road
Got them thinking my heart is gold
I'll never show
What I'll do to take the last stand

Let's say I bring a monstrous birth to
The world's light
They all can trust me at first sight
While I hide in their confidence
The always obedient dog
By your side's got the worst bite
And if there's no ladder to climb
I'll pull the plug on Venice
Watch it sink till I rise

[Markos & Men]
One time fool me and it's shame on you
Two times fool me and it's shame on me
Three times -- there's never three times
Cause I'm never foolish
And you're never fooling me
I'll be the last man
Standing when the world collapses
I have walked a harder road
Got them thinking my heart is gold
I'll never show
What I'll do to take the last stand

[Markos]
I'll be the
I'll be the last man
