MEDIOCRITY
Here you go rearranging my life
Never a care for the feelings inside
So much to give if you'd really want it
Guess I'm just along for the ride
Excellence lost in the mix
True quality has no purpose
so focused on your "big picture"
can't see beneath the surface
You've taken all that's good in me
in your quest for mediocrity
and I don't know how much more I can take
Can't you see I'm failing miserably
Just the excuse you need for leaving me here
Bent so far you know I'm bound to break
Is that what you want
Harder, faster
"Yes, my master"
Harder, faster
"Yes, my master"
I'll do your bidding
Just like you knew I would
Suffer, defenseless
Just like you knew I would
Clock keeps ticking
Just like you knew it would
But all seems so senseless
I'd change it if I could
So weary and tired, you've made our bed
Our broken wings suffice you well
Ensuring the status quo
Leading us to the depths of Hell
Do you even know who resides here?
Protected by your castle walls
Many kings but no kingdom
Divided, we will fall
Can't you see what's happening?
We're breaking here, we're drowning here
Do you have even a care?
Failure is near, mutiny is near
You've taken all that's good in me
In your quest for mediocrity
I've bent so far you know I'm bound to break
No desire left inside of me
To be what I could want to be
If only there were some reward at stake
Harder, faster!
"Yes, my master"
Harder, faster!
"Yes, my master"
You've lost the very best of me
In your quest for mediocrity
But you will never see it for yourself
You don't know me now or who I am
Just a tiny piece of your master plan
I'm average now like everybody else
