[Verse 1] What the hell was even the point of getting into that? I keep turning it over like a coin that won’t land flat You talk big in a clean suit then you change the chapter and the people in the boots pay for it after [Pre-Chorus] And I get mean about it I get mean and I can’t hide when the orders come from nowhere and the costs are always mine (are always mine) [Chorus] What was the point what was the point if they get left with crumbs and you get the applause? What was the point what was the point if they risk everything and you call it “the cause”? [Verse 2] They’re paid so little it should shame every room sleeping in near-nothing with the sand in the gloom and somebody upstairs keeps talking like it’s clean like the body count is hidden in a spreadsheet and a screen [Pre-Chorus] But I see their faces when the day turns wrong you don’t get to sell that hurt and still stand tall and strong (stand tall and strong) [Chorus] What was the point what was the point if they get left with crumbs and you get the applause? What was the point what was the point if they risk everything and you call it “the cause”? [Bridge] I’m not saying history ever writes itself kind I’m saying somebody always gets thrown to the line and if you call that execution then say it plain because dressing it up doesn’t wash out the stain [Final Chorus] What was the point what was the point if they get left with crumbs and you get the applause? What was the point what was the point if they risk everything and you call it “the cause”? What was the point what was the point when the people down there are the ones who pay?
