Lyrics
I've been posing with red skies Retweeting picket signs Put my name on petitions, but I won't change my mind 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 bitter 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 though 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 though 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 mouth There ain't a rule I'd wanna break (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 though I'm down for trying I am better in denial So I hush, don't make a sound Feet, don't fail me now (feet, don't fail me now) I got to stand my ground (gotta stand my ground) And though I was 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 (gotta stand my ground) And though 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 though I'm down for trying My feet, don't fail me now
