Backlash Lyrics - Headstrong - Headstrong

this is not right, the shallow sight of the dutiful 

i love them all 'cause they're so ugly and beautiful 

it's clear for me to see that you were made for this 

immutable and given to fits, you avarice is cavernous 

and this is nothing compared to what we're gonna get 

we've been blessed by the angel of success and stress 

i'm breaking out of this coast to coastal 

in five ticks i'm going global and postal 

pace yourself, brace yourself 

you've been so good to me so just consider this a payback 

this is a new day and you're the big winner 

you're never gonna believe what you see 

ch. (sung) 

before my eyes, life passed me by, i found myself 

a veil has been pulled away and things look big today 

it's like a riddle designed to make you feel little 

ch. 

and lost and always pulling back to the middle 

being cool is a compromise. 

your mind is victimized, baptized, chastised, ostracized 

cue the backlash, heaven helps the ones who rehash 

and nevaloutionaries looking through your old trash 

i'm going out of my way to put you back on the shelf 

you must contain yourself and entertain yourself 

the way is littered with shams and also rans running to fall 

but all is not lost, given the cost you gotta have a firm plan 

and done in with a wrecking ball, who never question anything at all this conciousness is sublime 

and we are numbed by the passage of time, 

we are a blight of bottled water and cannon fodder 

these motherfuckers are suckers, it's a crime 

you need an 18 year old wife and a 19 year old daughter 

pace yourself brace yourself 

you've been so good to me so just consider this a payback 

you're never gonna believe what you see 

this is a new day and you're the big winner 

before my eyes, life passed me by, i found myself 

ch. (sung) 

a veil has been pulled away and things look big today 

it's like a riddle designed to make you feel little 

and lost and always pulling back to the middle 

your mind is victimized, baptized, chastised, ostracized 

being cool is a compromise 

i'm going out of my way to put you back on the shelf 

cue the backlash, heaven helps the ones who rehash 

you must contain yourself and entertain yourself 

and nevaloutionaries looking through your old trash 

maybe your ship will come in, maybe your number's up 

bridge 

but either way your life will never be the same 

wake every day with a song in a heart small and lame 

ch. (sung) 

before my eyes, life passed me by, i found myself 

a veil has been pulled away and things look big today 

it's like a riddle designed to make you feel little 

and lost and always pulling back to the middle 

your mind is victimized, baptized, chastised, ostracized 

being cool is a compromise 

cue the backlash, heaven helps the ones who rehash 

i'm going out of my way to put you back on the shelf 

and nevaloutionaries looking through your old trash 

you mustn't blame yourself and never blame you 

pace yourself brace yourself 

you've been so good to me so just consider this a payback 

you're never gonna believe what you see 

this is a new day and you're the big winner
