The Chase

Born into the out
There was nothing for you to be screaming and shouting about
Time will tell, the years have told
That your sisters and brothers will fall by days of gold

So if you, boy, come of age
Yeah, they'll revel in righteousness
Wiping the smile from your face
Sad to say, sad to say
There's no mercy on you for falling behind in the chase

To hear, You're never no good you see
You lack a certain quality
It's high time you've come to realize you've run the wrong chase

We've seen through the looking glass
Can't escape what's come to pass
Or try to deny the thorn in your side is my taste

Then you say I, I've had enough
Of the extra credentials you need just to get by, it's tough
My senses blurred, my body aches
And it looks like the nightmares are haunting me more every day

You say I would embrace my fears
A push or a shove onto worship or love and believe
I say no, oh no not me
If you want to succeed then darling get down on your knees

We were there, they swore a change, but never delivered
We watched while they slithered away
Big mistake, for such a fool
Well I hope you choke on your sizable slice of the chase

So when we all come of age
Yeah we'll revel in righteousness, wiping the smile from their face
Sad to say, so sad to say
There's no mercy on you for falling behind in the chase

I've had enough of your extra credentials
I've had enough of them all
I can't describe the reason I'm feeling
Ten feet tall

I'm rolling away on a wave
I'm not gonna stay now darlin'
Hope that you know I won't change
I'm not gonna stay now darlin'
