Curcio - Salute Lyrics

We both know it's wrong, but it feels so right
You're gonna make your mark tonight
But who's laughing now? You're gonna bring it down
To make a smile from a frown
Your life's got no point, stuck under everyone's thumb
Now to it all you're just so numb
Why try to work it out when you can blow it away?
Your own Superman to save the day

Was it pride? Was it fear? Was it the thing that made them what they are?
Well it don't matter now, 'cause we're all left here with a bleeding heart

And the 21-gun salute is ringing out 'cause of you
You got the whole world watching, tell us why you do what you do
Did you think a couple sparks would see your name flashing up in lights?
'Cause now a momma sheds a tear 'cause her baby won't be home tonight

You may be out of sight, but you're on everyone's mind
So how do we deal with humankind?
Why should I back off now? Why should I take it in stride?
And sit back and let the suits decide?
'Cause one day you're coming back, we'll run the same routine
But somehow never before seen
And when the lights go down and your show's all done
We'll be stuck back at square one

Was it pride? Was it fear? Was it the thing that made them what they are?
Well it don't matter now because we're all left here with a bleeding heart

'Cause the 21-gun salute is ringing out 'cause of you
You got the whole world watching, tell us why you do what you do
Did you think a couple sparks would see your name flashing up in lights?
'Cause now a momma sheds a tear 'cause her baby won't be home tonight
