| Who’s gonna set the example now
|
| You man you need to take your vows
|
| Oh, how you can fly
|
| Oh, how you can soar
|
| When your hands are bloodied by a war
|
| So far removed from the plains
|
| The waters are dirtied by a bigger man’s sum
|
| Who’s gonna set the example for him
|
| Who sacrificed his only kin
|
| What’s in the word of wealth
|
| When no one ever sees it
|
| Was the work from his hands
|
| Lost in the sands of pleasing
|
| Who will set the example for him
|
| When there is no higher standard
|
| Applauding the higher, higher
|
| Applauding the higher you get
|
| Up on top
|
| Yeah, we’re fooling ourselves
|
| Yeah, we’re fooling ourselves
|
| Father of a country falling apart
|
| Up on top
|
| Yeah, we’re fooling ourselves
|
| Yeah, we’re fooling ourselves
|
| Mother of a baby crying for help
|
| Don’t coddle the baby
|
| The baby needs to learn
|
| Up on top
|
| What a precious idea
|
| When there is no higher standard
|
| Who’s gonna set the example for her
|
| Left alone to care for her only daughter
|
| Punished for her innocence and faith unyielding
|
| Inherited the violence that her history’s been grieving
|
| Who’s gonna pass food to her child
|
| When she has no one to serve their hunger
|
| Up on top
|
| Yeah, we’re fooling ourselves
|
| Yeah, we’re fooling ourselves
|
| Father of a country falling apart
|
| Up on top
|
| Yeah, we’re fooling ourselves
|
| Yeah, we’re fooling ourselves
|
| Applauding the higher, higher
|
| Applauding the higher you get
|
| Up on top
|
| Yeah, we’re fooling ourselves
|
| Yeah, we’re fooling ourselves
|
| Father of a country falling apart
|
