lyrics

Everyone has a plan now to be seen
And to hack at those standing in between
But you’re a hack in fact, and I mean not to mean
Just distract you as I push you from the scene

Recognize your fame just isn’t real
It’s a throne in which, the jester tries to steal
But you’re the best they say, and I feel the most ideal
Turn your back and we’ll see what’s revealed
Perhaps by gun, the predator waits in the dark
So he can behead your
Short fun
Your fame’s dead or
At least enough to be said sir

It’s best to relieve when there’s hands around your neck
But you’re a whore who can’t ignore it so you stay dancing on instead

Now you find yourself, sitting second row
And the thoughts of injustice tend to show
When for fame, your friends, and your life's a joke
And you fought but your death came dragging slow

Now your left without a hand to hold
You’re a poor man and that plan was all fools gold
Now you’re 19, and find you are too old
You’re fading but we have Monumentos

Perhaps by gun, the predator waits in the dark
So he can behead your
Short fun
Your fame’s dead or
At least enough to be said sir
It’s best to relieve when there’s hands around your neck
But you’re a whore who can’t ignore it so you stay dancing on instead

Perhaps by gun, the predator waits in the dark
So he can behead your
Short fun
Your fame’s dead or
At least enough to be said sir
