Cargo Cult Lyrics

That's what I get

For worshipping false idols

Drunk selfish twenty-somethings

Seem pretty wise

When you're young and blind

We paid the fines

Blew past the warning signs

To be successors

To the unsuccessful

Peeled back their skin

To stretch over our limbs

But it don't fit

Don't feel the way that it should

I tried my best

Not to be a walking cliché

But the carpet was

Rolled out in front of me

The life we think we're owed

Isn't what we're led to believe

In spite of what you're told

This is not where you want to be

Go on

Follow in the footsteps

Of those long gone

This is the way

We are prisoners

To integrity

We're held captive

By a self-fulfilling prophecy

All this time spent

Convincing ourselves

It'll work out in the end

The life you think you're owed by now

Isn't the life you lead

In spite of what you've sold

This is not where you want to be

All this time spent

The sunken cost

The lives we've lost

And all this time spent

Defying odds

How could we throw it away

How could you throw it all away

How could you throw it away

The throne is vacant

So where do we go from here

The road is changing

So where do we go from here

The throne is vacant

So where do we go from here

The road is changing

So where do we go from here now

We've all been waving

Signaling from dire straits

We've all been waiting

Waiting for the clouds to break

We've all been waving

Signaling from dire straits

We've all been waiting

Waiting
