what's the deal with the fear
that's spread amuck
trapped like animals we feel stuck
telling us anything
selling our stuff
they got us thinking that we're hosed
when we're not that f^cked
i don't want to be another story
of faded, fallen glory
they don't get to control me
they don't get to score me
i don't need scolding concern
that motive is not hard to discern
i don't need ambiguous help
i'll deal....with the cards i'm dealt
don't subscribe to selective thought
it can be sold; it can be bought
we're fighting wars that don't need fought
they're saying things
that just are not
i don't want to be another story
of faded, fallen glory
they don't get to control me
they don't get to score me
i don't need scolding concern
that motive is not hard to discern
i don't need ambiguous help
i'll deal....with the cards i'm dealt
what's the deal with the fear
that's spread amuck
trapped like animals we feel stuck
telling us anything
selling our stuff
they got us thinking that we're hosed
when we're not that f^cked
i don't want to be another story
of faded, fallen glory
they don't get to control me
they don't get to score me
i don't need scolding concern
that motive is not hard to discern
i don't need ambiguous help
i'll deal....with the cards i'm dealt
