Lyrics
The Nerve
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.
Can you believe this world's got the nerve to insist that it won't trade in for a better one?
Can you believe this world's yellin out in the dark it wants to be left alone?
Can you believe this world never woulda had the chance without us giving it blood?
Can you believe this world lacks the common courtesy to thank us all for the love?
Chorus:
Set it on fire!
Set it on fire!
Set it on fire!
Set it on fire!
Set it on fire! (x3)
Can you believe this world's like a glassy eyed swiggler caught sipping another one?
Can you believe this world's like a tyrant taking over anything that it wants?
Can you believe this world's like a wounded model warrior whose commitment is gone?
Can you believe this world's like a vagrant in the gutter talkin to what is wrong?
Chorus:
Set it on fire
Set it on fire
Set it on fire
Set it on fire
Set it on fire (x3)
Can you believe this world's just a double dealin joker, gonna stick to his cards?
Can you believe this world's just a television blaring, a million devils at once?
Can you believe this world's just a chommer in the sky with a lie in his soul?
Can you believe this world's just exactly like we built it, running out of control?
Chorus:
Set it on fire!
Set it on fire!
Set it on fire!
Set it on fire!
Set it on fire! (x3)
