Shut Up and Take the Compliment

Hey wild thing Shut up and take the compliment Hateful things won't shake you If you just don't hate If you just don't hate the world Can't take a compliment Living a lie that's been dying Strolling through riots and fighting Ignorance can't last forever We'll take the streets We'll show them dreams Wasted time If you're fighting this Cognitive thought process So obsolescent If sad vying factions are easier Then warm-hearted, welcoming demeanours Ignorance can't last forever We'll take the streets We'll show them dreams We'll take the streets We'll show them dreams But this is just a song That's lived for far too long One by one the soldiers run And all to no avail So if killing's what we really wanna do Kill the pessimist in me We'll take the streets We'll show them dreams We'll take the streets We'll show them dreams
