We're ready to go 

Ticking like a bomb that's about to blow 

It's taking control 

Pulling at your feet like an undertow 

You don't really know 

If you're all that capable 

But you've been told 



Figure it out 

Don't pretend you're stupid 

Sort it out 

Go make yourself useful 



You're better than dead 

You really made a mess with the words you said 

So easily fed 

The flames of the fire rise above your head 

They want to be led 

You've joined the ranks instead 

There's a voice in your head 



I can't figure it out 

Any more than the generation before me 

I can't figure it out 

How we got where we are today 

I can't figure it out 

Any more than the generation before me 

I can't figure it out 

We've got to fight not to fade away
