The Next Worst Thing
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm putting my foot down
Not getting pushed around
They should be ashamed of all the drugs they fed to us
And while your having fun
Shaking hands and pleasing everyone
We're on a diet of manufactured fruit loops and bubble gum
They try to get into your heads
But in the end your only as good as
The next worst thing thats comming
Everybody should start running
We're not gonna back down
Everybody know how
We're not gonna back down
Back to being real now
It's monkey see monkey do
Simon says play along
But i don't want to
Who is he to tell me what to think and what to do
It's always greed, greed, greed
How many measurements do you really need
Don't wanna pump it
Master pumping on the swings
They try to get into your heads
But in the end your only as good as
The next worst thing thats comming
Everybody should start running
We're not gonna back down
Everybody know how
We're not gonna back down
Back to being real now
What are we living for
What are we longing for
What are we waiting for
I think you know
Lets Go
They try to get into your heads
But in the end your only as good as
The next worst thing thats comming
Everybody should start running
We're not gonna back down
Everybody know how
We're not gonna back down
Back to being real now
