Once again, here I am On the precipice of breathlessness, my lungs collapse I can't escape the act If I live in a city where they hunt me down How long do you expect me to stay and wait to calibrate? If I bribe the committee with an offering Will they offer me commitment or calcify the magistrate? 'Cause when I give in I hope that I can be a better man in the end and carry on But when you give up Then everything we've ever shared will self-destruct and tip the scales Choose to prevail If I live in a country where they propagate the wealth In corporate raids then who am I to speak? They forgive you of nothing And they breed, and they breed, and they breed until they overstimulate the earth And feed upon the weak 'Cause when I give in I hope that I can be a better man in the end and carry on But when you give up (You give up) Then everything we've ever shared will self-destruct and tip the scales (In my soul) Choose to prevail If I live in a world where a consciousness exists Outside the walls of pain, ignorance, and habitual waste Then I will stand on the edge of the earth As a monument to the greater good of man To be born again
