For all that you are
And everything that you see
For all the memories you make
And the ones that you can’t shake
And what you want to be
Is this really the way
That you want it all to go
With the people marching in the street
And mistakes doomed to repeat
And blood sprinkled in snow
Because we all got fooled
We got sold a bill of goods
In these broken towns we stayed
They left and all got paid
Now we’re all in the woods
Because everybody knows
But everyone plays dumb
Got your games you play
But then you look the other way
Looking out for number one
Where did it go wrong?
We were just so unprepared
We’re running out of steam
As this American Dream
Becomes a nightmare
Because we all got fooled
We got sold a bill of goods
In these broken towns we stayed
They left and all got paid
Now we’re all in the woods
Lo and behold
I was thinking
Of what I become
I was thinking
Of Kingdom Come
Things are never going back to the way they were
Things are never going back to the way they were
Read the tea leaves and the writing
That’s upon the wall
But nothing at all
Compares to fall
