lyrics

You've watched the world turn to ash
Since the day that you were born
And kept the cinders in your hands
To keep them warm

There ain't no settlin'
With people made of sand
We ain't settlers
We're fixtures of the land

And even though it isn't right
That other people's problems became your plight
Tasked with fixing issues that you didn't help create

Even though it keeps you up at night
There isn't anything to do but stay and fight
And keep on cleaning messes you weren't even there to make

You never wanted all of this
But it's long since been here
Well before the lot of us existed
But I'm telling you

We are not beholden to
Obsolete and olden views
The tried and true ain't going anywhere
Or you wouldn't still be there

You've been here long enough to know
To the victor goes the prize
But to the stealer goes the gold
That's no surprise

And while we don't need many things
We can't take to the grave
We still value things like fair and honest play


You never wanted all of this
But it's long since been here
Well before the lot of us existed
But I'm telling you

We are not beholden to
Obsolete and olden views
The tried and true ain't going anywhere
Or you wouldn't still be there

The way things are is not the way they have to be
You can eat disaster and devour fallacies
If you can just ignore the awful aftertaste it leaves
You'll have nothing left but the fruits of life to eat

Well,
You never wanted all of this
But it's long since been here
Well before the lot of us existed
But I'm telling you

We are not beholden to
Obsolete and olden views
The tried and true ain't going anywhere

If the tried and true was going anywhere

You wouldn't still be there
