lyrics

"Standing There Gawking" lyrics co-written by Jeff Price and Lance Higdon (Last stanza).

Hey you that live by pretending
Shut your mouths
Shut your mouths
Keep your thoughts and your opinions to yourself
Because we do not care at all what you think
You have been given platforms that are not deserved
You have been given time that is not earned
We all live out here among the wood and stone
You in your pretty walls and your fancy transport
Selling you soul over and over again
To remain pridefully soulless

Hey you that live by pretending
Shut your mouths
Shut your mouths
Keep you programmed causes
And your hypocrisy to yourselves
Because all we really need is you to pass the time
You have been given so much and done so little
You have been given power and you generate nothing
We live out here among the glass and steel
You in your private halls and high octane flyers

[Lance Higdon's part - sung with Mike Blackshear]

Please take me back...
