lyrics
So you had your explanations for your cheating fest last night
and you always have a cover or your ass is on the line
Are you happy with your life and the fairy tales you say
you have lied to so many people you don't even know their name
Way to go, way to go, you have never had a soul
Way to go, way to go, you won't have another role
I was just a kamikaze, I was down for the dream
I'll see you buried in the dust one day, as the man who would be king
You always thought you're someone special, you always thought you are the one
but the world is turning faster than what you can understand
Only stuck inside your bubble, would not dare to go out
such an hypocritic bastard for that I never had a doubt
One day soon the wheels will turn around and your lucky streak will change
a cold sweat will run down on your face as you're trying to exchange
all your kingdom for a horse or a getaway car
when the fools can see clear what a fake you really are
and you always have a cover or your ass is on the line
Are you happy with your life and the fairy tales you say
you have lied to so many people you don't even know their name
Way to go, way to go, you have never had a soul
Way to go, way to go, you won't have another role
I was just a kamikaze, I was down for the dream
I'll see you buried in the dust one day, as the man who would be king
You always thought you're someone special, you always thought you are the one
but the world is turning faster than what you can understand
Only stuck inside your bubble, would not dare to go out
such an hypocritic bastard for that I never had a doubt
One day soon the wheels will turn around and your lucky streak will change
a cold sweat will run down on your face as you're trying to exchange
all your kingdom for a horse or a getaway car
when the fools can see clear what a fake you really are
