Hotel Alcatraz
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.
Throw the stick and I'll run to pick it
Blindly believing the win-win deal is real
Still, all I'm dealing with is my own greed
Deceiving me
I wait for reward like a good corporate whore
Hungry for more, wanting it all
Well, no more
I don't recognise myself anymore
I've shouted till my throat is sore
Don't care who wins and who don't
The game's no longer on
Catch me!
Never, never can
Chase me!
Never, never
Grab me!
Never, never can
Face me!
Never, never
So it continues on and on
Bigger, faster, louder more and more
This race can never be won
Time being the only thing I can't afford
My soul is not for sale
I spit out the bait
Cause it's never too late
To check the time and date
To quit the chase
Rearrange the ways I operate
Clashing, irrational
My point of view may be out of fashion
But this protest comes with passion
Catch me!
Never, never can
Chase me!
Never, never
Grab me!
Never, never can
Face me!
Never, never
Fire, fire burn it down!
Fire, fire to the ground!
Unpredictable
Can't be controlled
My mind is not imprisoned anymore
I don't know where to go
Or what happens next
I'm perplexed
You seem vexed
No stress, we passed the test
This was never about excess
Nevertheless, I won't give up yet
I haven't run out of dreams
Never seazed to believe
And anxiously wait and see
What the future brings
Not again will I feel inside me
Deflated, empty
Now I speak, now I make the rules
Proudly carry my views like the family jewels
I won't justify my moves
Cause I'm immune
When I've got nothing to lose
Fire, fire burn it down!
Fire, fire to the ground!
