The First of the Century Lyrics

You know
You can be
The first of this century
To bleed through
To find truth
To know what
You should do
You know
It could be anything
Now sometimes
You might find
A crack or a fault line
But dressed down
Or made up
You'll find a real love
A place to come home to at night
So what did we pay for?
And why did we care?
What were we after?
And why was it there?
Desire gave way to a false sense of hope
And we fell for the lie that it's what we all chose
And I yelled to my friends "It'll all be ok!"
But they didn't believe me and they still don't today
They never do anything they haven't before
In the same solemn room with no lock on the door
And over and over and over again
The same failed solutions to all the same problems
They scream "Why? Why?!
I can't understand why the things that
I do never go as I've planned!"
And the vultures begin
Their slow circling
The dogs lick their teeth
Bright white and gleaming
But just hold your tongue
We've barely begun
To fight until now
So let's see what you've got
This wide open shot
Take it or leave it
Because we're getting out!
We're getting out alive!
And you'll never find us again!
You'll never find us again!
