Looking down on the cars on the highway
The stream of tail lights                                                                                                            

Everybody advancing together
Do so willingly sacrifice rights

When people accept they’re cogs in the system
Give up free will, conform

Individual pieces of dust swirl together [bad word] a full storm

Looking down on the burgeoning city
The skyscrapers rise

Even men with the greatest intentions
Start believing their own lies

We can borrow from the future
But eventually someone’s got to pay

The only way out of the cycle
Is to strike out and pave your own way
Yeah

We all fight our own fight
Will you fuel the desire to win

Always [bad word] with the [bad word] Of the life that might have been

But no matter how jagged your path is
You’ll [bad word] back to the road

When the dust of battle settles
The war still rages within
