[Verse 1] Why do you hide A whole lot of pride? Last year didn't count; They had you down and out. They told you to drown, You’re not around. You claimed to know things When you drink and see, When you see like the seer. The snakes gather round, Coiling through your thoughts Like cool sand blowing over The blue water, only a teardrop Of the silent wave of shattered Shards of past events That lead to the bar And another round. [Pre-Chorus] Leader man, You had a plan. You gave in to the wild, wild way Down in New Orleans that day. You didn’t care; She walked naked through the Square. Cheers to the suds, The shots, and the felons. You don’t fit. No time yet. They wait on the stage. You had your debut, All the rage. What happened? What happened to you? It might happen again: The looks, the suspicion Around the corner. You are only the former. [Chorus] Leader man, You had a plan. You gave in to the wild, wild way Down in New Orleans that day. You didn’t care; She walked naked through the Square. Cheers to the suds, The shots, and the felons. [Verse 2] Meanwhile, the liquid liberator Is casually keeping the score, Holding court and tempting For more. You, What happened? What happened to you? It might happen again: The looks, the suspicion Around the corner. You are only the former. They pillaged the countryside. Time for the vigilantes. Time for the shotgun. Time to close the door. Time to secure the perimeter, To quarantine the sick, Disappear them so quick. [Chorus] Leader man, You had a plan. You gave in to the wild, wild way Down in New Orleans that day. You didn’t care; She walked naked through the Square. Cheers to the suds, The shots, and the felons. [Verse 3] One more way down the line, Seeing all the icons sublime, Worshiping flesh yields nothing— The ultimate joke played upon Jokers Who think they are in charge of Your petty little lives, Meaningless and not to thrive. The spark that counts Was ruined by rock stars Who became irrelevant, And the music died, Thanks to the secret getting out. Not enough to go around. Not enough to go around, Not enough to go around, Not enough even if you kill them all. The outside world was already blown up. No need for your b******t anymore. You are now at the door. There are many ways, But only one counts. Only one, Only one, Only one, One, One, One.
