Mistakes & Glories
Handicap yourself by choice
And keep the mind confined
To the chair with no voice
So speak up
(You move your lips too slow)
Make your way to the center stage
And pretty up that face cause your servants await
(It's time to play your role)
So sing and dance just the way we like it
Sweep the leg. If you don't stand for something
Sweep the leg. Then you don't stand for nothing
Sweep the leg. Gonna suffer the repercussions
Sweep the leg
A coward dies a thousand times
Death before dishonor
Cross the thin red line
So stay alive
(No other place to go)
Silence the facts
Disillusions are quoted
Clinch the fist in truth
And shove it down their throats
(Don't act like you don't know)
I'm on the broad path walking the tightrope
Sweep the leg. If you don't stand for something
Sweep the leg. Then you don't stand for nothing
Sweep the leg. Gonna suffer the repercussions
Sweep the leg
Mistakes and glories
There in the ground where they were cut down
Mistakes and glories
Death doesn't lie and it won't be denied
Mistakes and glories
They answer the call and some heroes must fall
Mistakes and glories
Giving all you can give when you're dying to live
You work for us
Sweep the leg. If you don't stand for something
Sweep the leg. Then you don't stand for nothing
Sweep the leg. Gonna suffer the repercussions
Sweep the leg
Mistakes and glories
There in the ground where they were cut down
Mistakes and glories
Death doesn't lie and it won't be denied
Mistakes and glories
They answer the call and some heroes must fall
Mistakes and glories
Giving all you can give when you're dying to live
