Small Victories

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Just how much of this will you all allow To go on? What will it take for you to realize you're wrong? Oh, so wrong [Refrain 1] He fought with him, who fought with her Who denied the knowledge of what those altercations were All the lies and the sighs This was not so reassuring [Pre-Chorus 1] But all is well and all is merry Even when the times are scary Every generation is the same Resulting in this fear illusion Is a void that breeds confusion Leading to a population tame [Chorus] I understand demand And know there're no guarantees But we've been built a world that's full of small victories [Verse 2] I've been waiting for a light to shine my way Every day No one understands a word of what I say "Go away" [Refrain 2] "I rule the sun and all the stars" Say the sons and daughters whose parents bought them getaway cars To ignore inner war that is building up inside them [Pre-Chorus 2] From the mountains to the prairies Everything is looking scary But the lot around me feel no pain They live their days in mass delusion While I coddle my seclusion Knowing that they're all laughing at Shane [Chorus] I understand demand And know there're no guarantees But we've been built a land that's full of small victories
