Lyrics
I've been posing with red skies Retweeting picket signs Put my name on petitions, but I won't change my- I'm keeping up appearances The dark side of my privilege Damn, thank God I've got my vice The dopamine tuition will keep me wrong from right But I don't like when my better side takes hold of me I didn't want you to know Man, I guess I was scared Feet, don't fail me now I got to stand my ground And no, I'm down for trying I am better in denial So I hush, don't make a sound Feet, don't fail me now I got to stand my ground And no, I'm down for trying I am better in denial I, I cry like crocodile Then drink opinions out I've always got an answer, the sun shines out my- There ain't a rule I'd wanna break I'd rather kill than show my face Man, I guess I was scared Feet, don't fail me now I got to stand my ground And no, I'm down for trying I am better in denial So I hush, don't make a sound Feet, don't fail me now I got to stand my ground And no, I'm down for trying I was scared But no blame's worth buying Am I better hiding? Why? Oh, why didn't I try? I was scared Feet, don't fail me now I got to stand my ground And no, I'm down for trying I am better in denial So I hush, don't make a sound Feet, don't fail me now I got to stand my ground, my ground And no, I'm down for trying My feet, don't fail me now
