The Nerve

Can you believe this world’s got the nerve to
Insist it won’t trade for a better one
Can you believe this world’s
Yelling out in the dark, it wants to be left alone
Can you believe this world never would have
Had a chance without us giving it blood
Can you believe this world lacks the common
Courtesy to thank us all for the love

Set it on fire!

Can you believe this world’s like a glassy eye
Swiller caught sipping another one
Can you believe this world’s like a tyrant
Taking over anything that it wants
Can you believe this world’s like a wounded martyr worried
If his commitment is gone
Can you believe this world’s like a vagrant in
The gutter talking nothing is wrong

Set it on fire!

Can you believe this world’s like a double
Dealing joker gonna stick to his guns
Can you believe this world’s just a television
Blaring a million devils at once
Can you believe this world’s just a charmer in
Disguise with a lavender soul
Can you believe this world’s just exactly as we
Built it running out of control

Set it on fire!
