Heavyweight

The earth is round
The world is cold
We want to do it for ourselves
And we want to be told
We gotta fit in
We gotta break the mold
We want to be free
But we’re all being bought and sold
You want to weigh in
Like a heavyweight
You want to lean back
But you gotta walk straight
The first are first
And the last are last
We want it done well
And we want it done fast

You want to weigh in like a heavyweight
Showing up early but you’re still too late

Life is hard
When it weighs on your shoulder
It don’t get easy
And we only get older
We gotta be bad
Cause it’s so hard to be good
We wanted to help
Hell we did all we could
You want to weigh in like a Romeo
You want to pay upfront
But you got no dough
You want to take it slow
So you close the mast
Looking to the future
But ignoring the past

We gotta fit in we gotta break the mold
We want to do it for ourselves and we want to be told
You want to lean back but you gotta walk straight
You showing up early but your always too late
You gotta be bad cause it’s so hard to be good
We wanted to help hell we did all we could
You want to pay up front but you got no dough
If you move fast you’ll never know
