Yeah, uh So whatcha waiting for? Anticipating more While you debate What it can take to instigate a war Yeah, I've been hated more than Time I wasn't hated for There's nothing they can fucking say They didn't say before You could never see it Your battle's not mine Wanna skate and play it safe But this is take a shot time You waiting for a purpose? I already got mine While you tell me "step to it like One, two, three, four" And if I do what you demand (You say) You'll let me understand (You say) You're gonna hold me to your word And if I sell myself away (You say) I'll have no debt to pay (You say) I'm gonna get what I deserve No more, obey My debt repaid Our trust betrayed All for nothing, all for nothing Came back, there's no other way to say it So let me break this fucker down for ya' I really don't know ya' You talk but let me show ya' Where to put your paranoia You joke and I don't half a half a sucker bone to throw ya I'm disgusted by what can make you tuck your tail below ya And no, I'm not your soldier I'm not taking any orders I'm a five-star general infantry controller Need a lesson, let me show ya' Have you checking your composure While I make you step to it like One, two, three, four And if I do what you demand (You say) You'll let me understand (You say) You're gonna hold me to your word And if I sell myself away (You say) I'll have no debt to pay (You say) I'm gonna get what I deserve And if I do what you demand You'll let me understand No more, obey My debt repaid Our trust betrayed All for nothing, all for nothing
