Can you do all that you claim to?
Can you just sit back?
Can you survive a jury of your peers?
If I took the limelight would it rectify all that?
Would it draw the focus from your fears? 

Create a pitch and target at the everyman
demographic quite overlooked
No paper trail, no cause for conspiracy
We'll do it right and update the books
While [bad word] from taking everything we can
uniform that wears you so well
I'll pull the strings and hide in anonymity
And then they'll buy whatever you sell 

So on your throne a sword is hanging over head
Amidst the passion of your name
And if I kept all of my promises to you
Would it be possible for you to do the same? 

When you lose your patience
When your sense [bad word] back
Entertaining thoughts of getting out 
Would you be lost without it
Would you see the need for that
Would the cost be greater than your doubts? 

It takes a hold and teaches new philosophies
stubborn mouth and losing control
When you speak through tears without apology
The irony is something to behold
You isolate and tightly tie the [bad word] taper and fade
If the subject seems to be rejecting it
Then think of all the plans that we've made 

simple gesture shows that everything's in tact
While keeping interest in this game
And if I kept all of my promises to you
Would it be possible for you to do the same?
Would you do the same?
You'd do the same

Can you do all that you claim to?
Can you just sit back?
Can you survive a jury of your peers?
If I took the limelight would it rectify all that?
Would it draw the focus from your fears?

Create a pitch and target at the everyman
demographic quite overlooked
No paper trail, no cause for conspiracy
We'll do it right and update the books
While [bad word] from taking everything we can
uniform that wears you so well
I'll pull the strings and hide in anonymity
And then they'll buy whatever you sell 

So on your throne a sword is hanging over head
Amidst the passion of your name
And if I kept all of my promises to you
Would it be possible for you to do the same?
