How Dare the World

I laid down my arms, i made peace
With my demons and with my defeats
My chin is up and my cheeks are dry
I'm ready to get the goodbye

But how dare their bells still ringing
How dare they break the dawn
How dare the earth keep spinning
How dare the world go on

I laid down the law, i said look
We agreed on the terms and we shook
You'd get my soul, yes, i'd get the cash
Til flames came and turned us to ash

But how dare their girls keep grinning
How dare their magic wands
How dare their lights un-dimming
How dare the world go on

How dare god not pull the plug on this place
When he laid eyes on the lines on my face

I laid down my cards all face up
Not one diamond or spade, not one club
Wanted a pair and i got a flush
So what, champ, the chips weren't worth much

And how dare their swans still swimming
How dare the sparrow's song
The waves, the winds keep winning
How dare the world go on and on
