Oh reckless, a boy wonder, so quiet, nose broken Oh, you're standing there, look tired as your singing And you're on fire, they're throwing punches So backwards the landscape you thought you knew, it starts unwinding Now you're jumping through their hoops You're just trying to dodge all their questions They're shooting bullets 'Cause we all want to hear but you can't, you can't And we all want to see but you don't, you don't You are amazing Oh the horses, suits and ties, they will not hesitate to trample You keep moving, stop moving, it's the same You know if it is broken they'll try to fix it It's a shame that, did they get you? they got you Yeah they might have You keep covering their mouths, they keep on talking The parade it is coming, I hear them marching Case we all want to hear but you can't, you can't And we all want to see but you don't, you don't You are amazing Yeah we all think we're right but we're wrong, we're wrong And we all want to talk and we do, we do They have convinced you It's so shocking You cheated your fate now, we can't read your face You are gone
