Lyrics
Well, I see you finally left the world
You lived in far behind and far away
And I see you finally reached the place you felt
You had to go but tell me something
Does it fulfill you like you thought or is it time to change again?
I can't believe you're satisfied
With your lame achievement!
Though it's nice to make believe but not for me
Well they're working all for you
You tell them what to do
And say to fit your vision
Well, you better hope it works
'Cause there's a line of jerks
Who wait to tell you something
How does it feel to have control of everything
That's meaningless?
I can't believe you're satisfied
With your lame achievement!
Though it's nice to make believe
But not for me
Of course I'll come to celebrate
When they say your over
With the ones who are relieved
'Cause we've suffered for so long
I think we've had enough
