We Were Giants - Defeat Lyrics

You don't know a damn thing about me
So why even say that you believe
I tried to show you the truth
You said I'd never succeed
Why do we have to try to hide ourselves
From the ones who don't care at all
I tried to show you the way
One day your crown will fall
Your ignorance will not save you from the truth
We've had enough
One day your crown will fall

Look on up, had enough
Don't let them take you shook'n up
Call their bluff
Don't let them weigh you down
Look on up, had enough
Don't let them take you shook'n up
Call their bluff
Don't let them weigh you down
Look on up, had enough (Listen to me tell you)
Don't let them take you shook'n up (Your life's worth living)
Call their bluff (And listen to me tell you)
Don't let them weigh you down (That there's another way out)
Look on up, had enough (I know that the bullshit)
Don't let them take you shook'n up (will make you stronger)
Call their bluff (In the end)
Don't let them weigh you down

Yeah

All you wanted was to see me fall
Flat on my face
This is a standoff now
Who's the disgrace
What's done is done
I never was enough
And now all you can do is try to disrespect me
Defeat

Why do we have to try to hide ourselves
From the ones who don't care at all
I tried to show you the way
One day your crown will fall

Look on up, had enough
Don't let them take you shook'n up
Call their bluff
Don't let them weigh you down
Look on up, had enough
Don't let them take you shook'n up
Call their bluff
Don't let them weigh you down
Look on up, had enough (Listen to me tell you)
Don't let them take you shook'n up (Your life's worth living)
Call their bluff (And listen to me tell you)
Don't let them weigh you down (That there's another way out)
Look on up, had enough (I know that the bullshit)
Don't let them take you shook'n up (will make you stronger)
Call their bluff (In the end)
Don't let them weigh you down

How long will it take for you to see
I'm fighting for a victory
These words just keep loosing grip
God damn the innocence
Yeah
