And now I think I see my chance
toe get ahead of the game
that I know is an illusion
but I chase it just the same
and if I do each thing just right
somehow pans out to the same
There's no ahead because there's
nothing but the game the game the game
While I cling to hope like a crazy hoarder
to think we used to laugh about the new world order
never imagined it could get so dumb and mean
to think I used to think I served the truth machine
that's enough that's where
I put my foot on the chalk mark
you better believe I will soliloquy
fall back before resolve so stark
In some sense I have stayed
one step ahead some way somehow
I'm hardly tearing up the scene
yet I've made it up to now
what
