The Hero Enters

Verse 1
Cheering when they’re on your team
Jeering when they’re not
We turn blind, don’t recognize 
Their evil and their rot
 
You held your nose, you cast your vote
You thought that things would change. 
Tough to learn it’s all the same,
Either side of the game. 
 
Chorus 
The jersey, the party, its us-not-them. 
It’s polarized, we’re hypnotized 
Not seeing foe from friend. 
We root for false allegience,
Team players to the end
We love our damaged idols,
Team players till the end. 
 
Verse 2
Quarterback sacks, wife attacks
No consequences made
Hit her in an elevator,
Won’t affect your fame.
 
Date rapist, MVP,
No difference in the score. 
Win us a game, it’s all the same,
Hear the crowd roar
 
 
Repeat Chorus
 
Verse 3
 
It’s come to this,
Another twist, another deal gone bad.
Defraud the worker, White House usurper,
Fictitious President.
The righteous say “he’s our guy”,
Today but not before.
My agenda, your vendetta 
Psycho cycle evermore.

Team Player

Verse 1
Abandoned dreams, you traded for lies
A life defined, that’s in disguise 
Won the key to the city, but What does that mean,
Complacency, dreams coming apart at the seams (at the seams)
 
PreChorus
 
Fallacy, you’re too blind to see
You believed but you’ve been deceived
It’s coming undone now it’s melting away,
It’s coming undone now it’s fading away…
 
 
Verse 2
You traded your heart for a place to call home
They Promised you gold, for a title, your soul.
What’s real, behind lying eyes?
This city is crumbling, falling apart -
Is there still time to follow your heart?
 
 
New Chorus
Your key to the city...
Is for a rotten Metropolis. 
For a key to the city
You cashed in your dreams 
 
Repeat Verse 1
 
Repeat Chorus
