lyrics

Hear the bubbles coming up can't see them when they breach
And you act like I can't find my own air to breathe
Go on for once enjoy the back of the line
Cause movement it do not heed
Your version of the story shrinks daily without the lead

Did you really think I'd do the dirty work for free
Better out than inside of your blind monopoly
Did you really think I'd do the dirty work for free
Better out than in where your guardians have no reach

Climb upside down no parking anytime
Not me won't let you be seen just my eyes
All your golden walls are worthless
When beyond them you want to reach
The thirst and toil of all of this
It ain't gonna fall on me


Did you really think I'd do the dirty work for free
Better out than inside of your blind monopoly
Did you really think I'd do the dirty work for free
Better out than in where your guardians have no reach

Still felt to feel the ghostly hands of worth beyond your gold
Refuse to move past looking down now your chains also enthroned
Now I see it's weakness how you used my hand like you wouldn't have to fold
There is meaning
There is power
There is beauty
In the cracks you refuse to hold


Did you really think I'd do the dirty work for free
Better out than inside of your blind monopoly
Did you really think I'd do the dirty work for free
Better out than in where your guardians have no reach
Better out than inside of your blind monopoly
Better out than in
