Matt and Tim wrote this riffing off The Who, and Jesse believes you can hear a something like “Won’t Be Fooled Again” in there.
It was near the last song Op Ivy wrote as a band.
[Pre-Chorus]
I start it, I end it
I kill and words'll defend it
Got big plans, blood-stained hands
Wanna put my name on the map
[Chorus]
On my way to save the world
On my way to save the world
[Verse 1]
Got a brand new set of words, and the going rate is cheap
Unconditional devotion, unquestioning belief
Words carved in stone, chiseled in with sharpened bones
Of the ones who thought my righteousness was something to oppose
[Pre-Chorus]
I start it, I end it
I kill and words'll defend it
Got big plans, blood-stained hands
Wanna put my name on the map
[Chorus]
On my way to save the world
On my way to save the world
[Interlude]
Missionary!
[Verse 2]
Can you see the flag rising up beyond the smoke
Of dying authors burning books?
There was a problem with what they wrote
The flag is hard to read
All flags start to look the same
When covered with the blood of the faithless and insane
[Pre-Chorus]
I start it, I end it
I kill and words'll defend it
Got big plans, blood-stained hands
Wanna put my name on the map
[Chorus]
On my way to save the world
On my way to save the world
[Post-Chorus]
(My world!)
My world
[Chorus]
On my way to save the world
On my way to save the world
(Let's go!)
[Bridge]
Man of many names, but the motives stay the same
My actions are the means to the end
My actions are the means to the end
[Chorus]
On my way to save the world
On my way to save the world
On my way to save the world
On my way to save the world
