Be All That You Can't Be

You don't stop, not even to rest
 You'll clean up the mess you made out of our lives
 For the last time tonight
 Let them see the liar in your eyes
 They are the last ones down
 But they're the first ones out
 You're telling the stories, you're selling the glory
 To the kids on the bad side of town
 And they say
 Cross our fingers
 For believers
 Only one cadence away
 The truth is you see troops, not children
 You smile and you pretend as you hand guns out to my friends
 You sell these kids a new beginning
 You smile and you pretend as you hand guns out, guns out to my friends
 A new crop, so hard to resist
 You're selling the kids with limited options
 To the lowest bid
 Safety in numbers proved wrong again
 They are the last ones down
 But they're the first ones out
 You're telling the stories, you're selling the glory
 To the kids on the bad side of town
 The truth is you see troops, not children
 You smile and you pretend as you hand guns out to my friends
 You sell these kids a new beginning
 You smile and you pretend as you hand guns out, guns out to my friends

 I gotta know who you are
 The suspense is killing me
 The kids are backed against the wall
 You set them up to take a fall
 I gotta know who you are
 The suspense is killing me
 The kids are backed against the wall
 You set them up to take a fall
 The kids are running on alcohol with no clue
 Their backs against the wall
