Mistakes & Glories

Handicap yourself by choice
And keep the mind confined to the chair with no voice
So speak up (you move your lips too slow)
And make way to the center stage
And pretty up that face 'cause your servants await
(It's time to play your role)
So sing and dance just the way we like it

(Sweep the leg!) If you don't stand for something
(Sweep the leg!) Then you don't stand for nothing
(Sweep the leg!) Gonna suffer the repercussions
(Sweep the leg!)

A coward dies a thousand times
Death before dishonor, cross the thin red line
So stay alive (no other place to go)
Silence the facts, delusions are quoted
Clench the fist in truth and shove it down your throats
(Don't act like you don't know)
I'm on the broadpath walking the tightrope

(Sweep the leg!) If you don't stand for something
(Sweep the leg!) Then you don't stand for nothing
(Sweep the leg!) Gonna suffer the repercussions
(Sweep the leg!)

Mistakes and glories
There in the ground where they were cut down
Mistakes and glories
Death doesn't lie and it won't be denied
Mistakes and glories
They answer the call and some heroes must fall
Mistakes and glories
Givin' all you can give when you're dyin' to live

You work for us
You work for us
You work for us
You work for us
You work for us
You work for us
You work for us
You work for

(Sweep the leg!) If you don't stand for something
(Sweep the leg!) Then you don't stand for nothing
(Sweep the leg!) Gonna suffer the repercussions
(Sweep the leg!)
