The Way Things Are Lyrics

I'm standing on my pedestal,
you're spitting on my grave.
I'll crucify myself for your pleasure,
but don't ever call me slave,
'cause I've made my bones,
chosen my route,
When the pistols' triggered,
it's time to shoot.
Take every chance within my grasp keep kicking and fighting 'til my last grasp

And if this is the way the things are,
it's the way it's meant to be
If this is the way the things are,
it's the way it's meant to be.

No more crying,
no more weepy tears,
I've got no time for your indulgence,
won't entertain your fears.
'Cause I've made my choice,
found my voice
I know where I stand and I raise my hand,
a mountain moves and there's the proof
that the sky's the limit
when you face the truth
that I'm a f***** with a mission
who's at the top the pimps
that surround me won't let me stop,
they call me friend,
it's the trend,
it's my blood they spend
'cause cash or crucyfixion,
they get you in the end.
And if this is the way the things are,
it's the way it's meant to be.
if this is the way the things are,
it's the way it's meant to be.
If this is the way the things are,
it's the way it's meant to be.
If this is the way the things are,
it's the way it's meant to be.
If this is the way the things are,
more fool me.
