(Verse 1) A seat at the table, a name in the sun They say that the hardest part is never done I sold them my conscience, I sold them my doubt To keep the lights running, to keep the fires out. (Chorus) Heavy is the crown in this gilded cage Turning a historical, blood-soaked page The choice that you make is never clean Just cogs in a bigger, brutal machine Oh, the line that we've crossed, forever it seems Drowning our failures in beautiful dreams. (Verse 2) The truth is a luxury, a rich man's affair While the poor breathe the poison in the common air I look in the mirror and don't know the face Just another lost soul in this terrible place.
