And So It Went

Lyrics

[Verse 1] And so it went The children lost their minds Beggin' for forgiveness Was such a waste of time And the bullets start to fly And the bough's about to break When you hear them cry It's too much for me to take [Chorus] They said the world does not belong to you You are not the king, I am not the fool They said the world does not belong to you It don't belong to you It belongs to me [Verse 2] And so it went The children lost their minds Crawlin' over bodies of those who gave their lives And the fists began to throw And the fire starts to blaze Don't you think they know They're the fuckin' human race? [Chorus] They said the world does not belong to you You are not the king, I am not the fool They said the world does not belong to you It don't belong to you It belongs to— [Bridge] Everyone is cryin' out, I can hear them scream With all these eyes upon us, but no one seems to see That you and me are just the same as God meant it to be But you're much too close to me You're much too close to me [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] And so it went The children lost their minds Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide And the wind begins to howl And the wolf is at your door You have so much of everything But still, you wanted more [Chorus] They said the world does not belong to you You are not the king, I am not the fool They said the world does not belong to you It don't belong to you It belongs to me [Chorus] The world does not belong to you You are not the king, I am not the fool They said the world does not belong to you It don't belong to you It belongs to me
