Against Us All

Whippersnapper

Let me ask you a question,

You never had no trouble in your life

You're always looking to show

There's nothing worse

Than weakness in your eyes

Worse than losing control.



What makes you think its easy?

The world turns,

It turns against us all.

You're passing judgment

On everyone you meet

You use your words like a whip

It's like there's something

Inside you can't defeat

You pounce when anyone slips



What makes you think its easy?

The world turns,

It turns against us all.

There's condescension

In every word you speak

Another rebel in black

I'd just be careful

With the stances that you take

Cause one day

It's all coming back.

Let me tell

A little secret that I know

I'll whisper in your ear.

While you're busy posturing for show

What does anyone care?



What makes you think its easy?

The world turns,

It turns against us all.

Do you think I'm making a mistake?

I lay it all on the line.

You're calculating all

The chances that you take

But one day soon

You will find the water's rising,

Moving over your head

Surprising you when you least expect

And I won't hold against you

All the things that you've said

There's some things

That you have to accept.



What makes you think its easy?

The world turns,

It turns against us all.

What makes you think its easy?

And who will be there

If you should ever fall?
