Headstrong Backlash Lyrics

Backlash Lyrics

this is not right, the shallow sight of the dutiful

i love them all cuz they're so ugly and beautiful

immutable and given to fits, you avarice is cavernous

it's clear for me to see that you were made for this

we've been blessed by the angel of success and stress

and this is nothing compared to what we're gonna get

i'm breaking out of this coast to coastal

in five ticks i'm going global and postal



pace yourself, brace yourself

you've been so good to me so just consider this a payback

you're never gonna believe what you see

this is a new day and you're the big winner



ch. (sung)

before my eyes, life passed me by, i found myself

a veil has been pulled away and things look big today



ch.

it's like a riddle designed to make you feel little

and lost and always pulling back to the middle

your mind is victimized, baptized, chastised, ostracized

being cool is a compromise.

cue the backlash, heaven helps the ones who rehash

and nevaloutionaries looking through your old trash

i'm going out of my way to put you back on the shelf

you must contain yourself and entertain yourself





but all is not lost, given the cost you gotta have a firm plan

the way is littered with shams and also rans running to fall

and done in with a wrecking ball, who never question anything at all this
conciousness is sublime

and we are numbed by the passage of time,

these motherfuckers are suckers, it's a crime

we are a blight of bottled water and cannon fodder

you need an 18 year old wife and a 19 year old daughter



pace yourself brace yourself

you've been so good to me so just consider this a payback

you're never gonna believe what you see

this is a new day and you're the big winner



ch. (sung)

before my eyes, life passed me by, i found myself

a veil has been pulled away and things look big today



it's like a riddle designed to make you feel little

and lost and always pulling back to the middle

your mind is victimized, baptized, chastised, ostracized

being cool is a compromise

cue the backlash, heaven helps the ones who rehash

and nevaloutionaries looking through your old trash

i'm going out of my way to put you back on the shelf

you must contain yourself and entertain yourself



bridge

wake every day with a song in a heart small and lame

maybe your ship will come in, maybe your number's up

but either way your life will never be the same



ch. (sung)

before my eyes, life passed me by, i found myself

a veil has been pulled away and things look big today



it's like a riddle designed to make you feel little

and lost and always pulling back to the middle

your mind is victimized, baptized, chastised, ostracized

being cool is a compromise

cue the backlash, heaven helps the ones who rehash

and nevaloutionaries looking through your old trash

i'm going out of my way to put you back on the shelf

you mustn't blame yourself and never blame you



pace yourself brace yourself

you've been so good to me so just consider this a payback

you're never gonna believe what you see

this is a new day and you're the big winner
