Glory Days

Going to sleep shouldn't make me so tired
But I wake up everyday feeling worse than before
The same old thing, different day and attire
Same old footprints on the hardwood floor

Cinderella's shoe fit
And the bad guys lost the war
And I came back home
So I shouldn't ask for more
But my mind's a graveyard
And my footprints are imprinted on the hardwood floor
My mind's a graveyard
And my footprints are imprinted on the hardwood floor

I stare into the sun and I feel no pain
That's all reserved for my glory days
Where they glorify the cities we raised
For the cities we razed, they give us praise

Ares must be proud cos he's getting what he wants
And God laughs at them and ignores what they say
And they say thanks, beg for a new day to come
A new day is here, full of death and decay

I've got connections
And we got our way
But at what cost
Thousands dead a day
You pray to the Bible
But you are the Bible's prey
You pray to the Bible
But you are the Bible's prey

I stare into the sun and I feel no pain
That's all reserved for my glory days
Where they glorify the cities we raised
For the cities we razed, they give us praise

So it goes
Ghosts of ivory and blue
Fly around the room
And I dance with them
So it goes
Ghosts of ivory and blue
Fly around the room
Children and old men

It's here where they make their final stand
Pretty death's only a part of a movie plan
But what about the life of a common man
Well, I'm one and I can see they don't give a damn
Did we fight for Hollywood when we fought for this land
Either way, now we stand on the hardwood floor
I don't think it was like this before
