The Wreckoning (Live at Uptown)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Broken glass all around you Try to hide, but they find you every time Even with everything you try to do People can still look and see right through you Lookin' like you came from a magazine Regular jock-star, beauty queen Covered in labels, barely able to speak for yourself So you look at other people and help yourself You have your passport so you can be identified In case the most important thing is lost And every chance you take just to be satisfied Is just another link in the chain of your wreckin' ball [Pre-Chorus 1] Link in the chain of your wreckin' ball Link in the chain of your wreckin' ball Link in the chain of your wreckin' ball Link in the chain of your wreckin' ball [Chorus 1] This is the reckoning that you feel happening The wrecking ball destroying it all The reckoning that you feel happening The wrecking ball destroying it all [Refrain 1] The bullet inside of the smokin' gun Knife in my back when I try to run Rain in the days that I'm stuck outside One to reveal when I try to hide [Verse 2] Oh, Mr. and Mrs. Popularity, the life of all the parties Gotta be the first be the bad one Get fucked up, and have too much fun Daddy's not here to hold your hand Time to buck up, be a man Nothin' was stoppin' you before Why stop now? 'Cause you're on the floor I'm sure you'll get your close up Your fifteen minutes of fame and praise You're the talk of the town And every chance you took just to be glorified Is just another brick in the wall that you're bringin' down [Pre-Chorus 2] Brick in the wall that you're bringin' down Brick in the wall that you're bringin' down Brick in the wall that you're bringin' down Brick in the wall that you're bringin' down [Chorus 2] This is the reckoning that you feel happening The wrecking ball destroying it all The reckoning that you feel happening The wrecking ball destroying it all [Refrain 2] The bullet inside of the smokin' gun Knife in my back when I try to run Rain in the days that I'm stuck outside One to reveal when I try to hide [Bridge] And so, you try to end the destruction Of the things that make you function But you want no interruption And because of your selfish assumptions I'm acting out this way Ooh, you cause the eruption happenin' inside of me [Refrain 3] Bullet inside of the smokin' gun Knife in my back when I try to run Rain in the days that I'm stuck outside One to reveal when I try to hide [Chorus 3] This is the reckoning that you feel happening The wrecking ball destroying it all The reckoning that you feel happening The wrecking ball destroying it all The reckoning that you feel happening The wrecking ball [Outro] The bullet inside of the smokin' gun Knife in my back when I try to run Rain in the days that I'm stuck outside One that you're choosin' to hide
