Mistakes & Glories

Handicap yourself by choice And keep the mind confined to the chair with no voice So speak up (you move your lips too slow) And make way to the center stage And pretty up that face 'cause your servants await (It's time to play your role) So sing and dance just the way we like it (Sweep the leg!) If you don't stand for something (Sweep the leg!) Then you don't stand for nothing (Sweep the leg!) Gonna suffer the repercussions (Sweep the leg!) A coward dies a thousand times Death before dishonor, cross the thin red line So stay alive (no other place to go) Silence the facts, delusions are quoted Clench the fist in truth and shove it down your throats (Don't act like you don't know) I'm on the broadpath walking the tightrope (Sweep the leg!) If you don't stand for something (Sweep the leg!) Then you don't stand for nothing (Sweep the leg!) Gonna suffer the repercussions (Sweep the leg!) Mistakes and glories There in the ground where they were cut down Mistakes and glories Death doesn't lie and it won't be denied Mistakes and glories They answer the call and some heroes must fall Mistakes and glories Givin' all you can give when you're dyin' to live You work for us You work for us You work for us You work for us You work for us You work for us You work for us You work for (Sweep the leg!) If you don't stand for something (Sweep the leg!) Then you don't stand for nothing (Sweep the leg!) Gonna suffer the repercussions (Sweep the leg!)
