The Greatest

Oh, I sought out to be the greatest
And my face among them all
And we sought out to be the greatest
In the bottom we stand, together we fall

Since I'm out, I'm being honest
A tall tale will do
And come on, climb up though you're tired
The higher we go, the more we can lose

Thicker skin, you know we gotta
Try to tough it out
Our flags flown upside down
Oh, we're in rough water

Twenty years has run you ragged
It's time to sink or swim
Where would I begin?
Why even bother?

Yeah, I hope and I pray
Yeah, I cry and I beg

If I try to sit on the fence
And watch it sink in, I watch it sink in
Stow your baggage, store it away
Yeah, it gets in my way, you get in my way

Don't worry about what happens now
Don't worry about the sky
It's on fire, born again

Yeah, I hope and I pray
Yeah, I cry and I beg

If I try to sit on the fence
And watch it sink in, I watch it sink in
Stow your baggage, store it away
Yeah, it gets in my way, you get in my way

Don't worry about what happens now
Don't worry about the sky
It's on fire

Don't worry about what happens now
Don't worry about the signs
This world is coming to an end
I think we all know

Hey man, do you got a ride?
No bike, no shoes to walk
Hey man, do you got the time?
No time, no pocket watch
Hey man, do you got a life?
Change me enough because I

Yeah, I hope and I pray
Yeah, I cry and I beg
