Safety Net
You say you made yourself what you are
A risk is not a risk if you'll never fall that far
Treading light on the tightrope you call your privileged life
A thousand arms to catch you should you plummet from that height
Ignorant to the wealth blessed upon you from glamorous lies
No idea what it's like to really try
Ever had cruel laughter punch out your lights?
In the dead of night?
You've a safety net
You're the safest bet
How's that fair?
You've a safety net
You're the safest bet
How's that fair?
Success stories we hear, I fear as they burst with pride
Tales of the ease of recognition
may be true with money on your side
I've known many dreamers whose dreams have curled up and died
How many souls are lost because their words aren't heard in time?
Climbing higher than I've ever climbed
A kite caught in a storm of what's wrong or right
I'm shaking now as ant-like people gather round
I look down
You've a safety net
You're the safest bet
No risk, no flair
You've a safety net
You're the safest bet
How's that fair?
You've a safety net
You're the safest bet
No risk, no flair
You've a safety net
You're the safest bet
How's that fair?
You've a safety net
You're the safest bet
We don't compare
You've a safety net
You're the safest bet
We don't compare
You've a safety net
You're the safest bet
We don't compare
You've a safety net
You're the safest bet
We don't compare
A risk is not a risk if you'll never fall that far
Treading light on the tightrope you call your privileged life
A thousand arms to catch you should you plummet from that height
Ignorant to the wealth blessed upon you from glamorous lies
No idea what it's like to really try
Ever had cruel laughter punch out your lights?
In the dead of night?
You've a safety net
You're the safest bet
How's that fair?
You've a safety net
You're the safest bet
How's that fair?
Success stories we hear, I fear as they burst with pride
Tales of the ease of recognition
may be true with money on your side
I've known many dreamers whose dreams have curled up and died
How many souls are lost because their words aren't heard in time?
Climbing higher than I've ever climbed
A kite caught in a storm of what's wrong or right
I'm shaking now as ant-like people gather round
I look down
You've a safety net
You're the safest bet
No risk, no flair
You've a safety net
You're the safest bet
How's that fair?
You've a safety net
You're the safest bet
No risk, no flair
You've a safety net
You're the safest bet
How's that fair?
You've a safety net
You're the safest bet
We don't compare
You've a safety net
You're the safest bet
We don't compare
You've a safety net
You're the safest bet
We don't compare
You've a safety net
You're the safest bet
We don't compare
