World Got Great

Same game, same rules

Same job but with different tools

Lost our taste, it all got lame
Change the plates but the food's the same

I'm out of cash, I'm unemployed
I can't create, I can't destroy
Pick your poison, say your prayers
This map shows nothing anywheres

While we're stuck in traffic they say we're not lost
We curse the pavement and cough on exhaust
They call this car wreck fate
I think it's not too late to save
Just cause we're stuck today
Don't mean there's no game left to play

I hope someday we can say,
We were there when the world got great!
We were there when the world got great!
We helped to make it that way!

This life could be a coffin
It could be a chrysalis
We're freaking out so often
Because no one's made up myths for this yet

I know someday we will say,

We were there when the world got great!
We were there when the world got great!
We helped to make it that way!

All this bullshit could be backstory
A second act before we come to glory
We'll set the stage for a Golden Age
Born losers, late bloomers
What luck to not bloom sooner
With any luck we'll be peaking
Just in time for them to hear us speaking

We were there when the world got great!
We helped to make it that way!"
