[Intro]
Pray for content, settle for free rent
The tenements recall Rome
High five, look up, look alive
As the scions of history guess another mystery
Wrong, wrong, wrong
[Verse 1]
Recite your lines, and I'll quote scriptures
Everything was fine until membership lost its privileges
Everyone in town wanted to be around you
This went on for awhile until they finally found you
[Chorus 1]
Ever so careful, on the strip we cruise
Crippled in someone else's shoes
Who knew? Mind you
I never had to stand in line, you did
For the ballad of a comeback kid
[Verse 2]
Watch your step
As you step down from the podium
Returned from the war to a hero's welcome
What's more, you just had to win
Pray for content, settle for free rent
The tenements recall Rome
High five, look up, look alive
As the scions of history guess another mystery
Wrong, wrong, wrong
[Verse 1]
Recite your lines, and I'll quote scriptures
Everything was fine until membership lost its privileges
Everyone in town wanted to be around you
This went on for awhile until they finally found you
[Chorus 1]
Ever so careful, on the strip we cruise
Crippled in someone else's shoes
Who knew? Mind you
I never had to stand in line, you did
For the ballad of a comeback kid
[Verse 2]
Watch your step
As you step down from the podium
Returned from the war to a hero's welcome
What's more, you just had to win
