What a dream. Can't you see? What a lazy life you lead
When you sleep, all day long, don't you know you're doing wrong
What success, take a guess, always happy to do less
An excuse, every day, how you gonna to earn your way
In the glass, can't you see, all your blooming vanity
So in love, with yourself, before anybody else
Wear a mask, that you bought, never stumble on a thought
Till your beauty is gone, like the Whore of Babylon
Well I hope you figure it out before you wind up getting served
Well I hope you figure it out before you get what you deserve
Greediness, nothing less, it's the sin of your excess
You inspire, your desire, all the smoke without the fire
And the bling, don't it sting, always wanting everything
Avarice, you possess, now your debt is prospering
Well I hope you figure it out before you wind up getting burned
I hope you figure it out so you can tell us what you learned
Well I hope you figure it out before you wind up getting served
I really hope you figure it out
But you probably won't, you'll only get what you deserve
Does the world ever change, does it ever really grow
Or does it just turn around and remain, always in the status quo
Black and white, so uptight, always looking for a fight
Seeing red, lose your head, like a stick of dynamite
Pressure gauge, set to rage, demonstrate your mental age
Just a tool, with some drool, like a bully out of school
Well I hope you figure it out before you wind up getting burned
I hope you figure it out, and you can tell us what you've learned
Well I hope you figure it out before you wind up getting old
I really hope you figure it out
But you probably won't, and you'll be left out in the cold
