You're Gonna Go Far, Kid
Show me how to lie, you're getting better all the time
And turning all against the one is an art that's hard to teach
Another clever word sets off an unsuspecting herd
And as you step back into line a mob jumps to their feet
Now dance, fucker, dance, man, he never had a chance
And no one even knew it was really only you
And now you steal away
Take him out today
Nice work you did
You're gonna go far, kid
With a thousand lies and a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes
Hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See 'em running for their lives
Slowly out of line and drifting closer in your sights
So play it out, I'm wide awake, it's a scene about me
There's something in your way and now someone is gonna pay
And if you can't get what you want, well, it's all because of me
Now dance, fucker, dance, man, I never had a chance
And no one even knew it was really only you
And now you'll lead the way
Show the light of day
Nice work you did
You're gonna go far, kid (trust, deceived)
With a thousand lies and a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes
Hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See 'em running for their lives
Now dance, fucker, dance, he never had a chance
And no one even knew it was really only you
So dance, fucker, dance, I never had a chance
It was really only you
With a thousand lies and a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes
Hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See 'em running for their lives
Clever alibis, lord of the flies
Hit 'em right between the eyes
Hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See 'em running for their lives
And turning all against the one is an art that's hard to teach
Another clever word sets off an unsuspecting herd
And as you step back into line a mob jumps to their feet
Now dance, fucker, dance, man, he never had a chance
And no one even knew it was really only you
And now you steal away
Take him out today
Nice work you did
You're gonna go far, kid
With a thousand lies and a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes
Hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See 'em running for their lives
Slowly out of line and drifting closer in your sights
So play it out, I'm wide awake, it's a scene about me
There's something in your way and now someone is gonna pay
And if you can't get what you want, well, it's all because of me
Now dance, fucker, dance, man, I never had a chance
And no one even knew it was really only you
And now you'll lead the way

With a thousand lies and a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes
Hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes

Now dance, fucker, dance, he never had a chance
And no one even knew it was really only you
So dance, fucker, dance, I never had a chance
It was really only you
With a thousand lies and a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes
Hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See 'em running for their lives
Clever alibis, lord of the flies
Hit 'em right between the eyes
Hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See 'em running for their lives
