Mistakes & Glories

Handicap yourself by choice

And keep the mind confined

To the chair with no voice

So speak up

(You move your lips too slow)

Make your way to the center stage

And pretty up that face cause your servants await

(It's time to play your role)

So sing and dance just the way we like it

Sweep the leg. If you don't stand for something

Sweep the leg. Then you don't stand for nothing

Sweep the leg. Gonna suffer the repercussions

Sweep the leg

A coward dies a thousand times

Death before dishonor

Cross the thin red line

So stay alive

(No other place to go)

Silence the facts

Disillusions are quoted

Clinch the fist in truth

And shove it down their throats

(Don't act like you don't know)

I'm on the broad path walking the tightrope

Sweep the leg. If you don't stand for something

Sweep the leg. Then you don't stand for nothing

Sweep the leg. Gonna suffer the repercussions

Sweep the leg

Mistakes and glories

There in the ground where they were cut down

Mistakes and glories

Death doesn't lie and it won't be denied

Mistakes and glories

They answer the call and some heroes must fall

Mistakes and glories

Giving all you can give when you're dying to live

You work for us

Sweep the leg. If you don't stand for something

Sweep the leg. Then you don't stand for nothing

Sweep the leg. Gonna suffer the repercussions

Sweep the leg

Mistakes and glories

There in the ground where they were cut down

Mistakes and glories

Death doesn't lie and it won't be denied

Mistakes and glories

They answer the call and some heroes must fall

Mistakes and glories

Giving all you can give when you're dying to live
