Peel the mask away
Drop the masquerade
Lose the tough guy facade
The world's a scary place
Everybody's afraid
Whether or not they'd like to admit it or not
It's the truth
Sooner or later this party gets busted
And all your friends stumble back home
But you're the loose cannon that could never be trusted
So you'll hide from the cops all alone again
Tell me, when the fire dies down
What the fuck will you do?
When the man comes around
What the fuck will you do?
Who's gonna be there to catch you when your plans all fall through?
When you were flying your white flag
Who never gave up on you?
The future is terrifying
It constantly plagues my mind
Where will I be in ten years?
Will I be homeless or buried?
Or have children and be married?
Or will I still be stuck standing right here?
Either way, it's been a privilege to have had time to spend
With my wonderful family and friends!
So I'll toast to all of you and to all that you do
You're fucking awesome, don't you ever forget it!
'Cause when the fire dies down
What the fuck will you do?
When the man comes around
What the fuck will you do?
Who's gonna be there to catch you when your plans all fall through?
When you were flying your white flag
Who never gave up on you?
Building up your confidence will lead to have a breakdown
And every morning that you wake up's just a letdown
Find yourself a comfort or two, adjust
'Til you're face down, black out fucked up
Just to help yourself forget
The world we live in is a terrifying place
Who will be ones who are there when the rest have gone away?
The ones who've turned their backs on you
They're staggerin' off the plank
Come back a fucking cannon
Blow 'em away and watch them sink!
Tell me, when the fire dies down
What the fuck will you do?
When the man comes around
What the fuck will you do?
Who's gonna be there to catch you when your plans all fall through?
When you were flying your white flag
Who never gave up on you?
When the fire dies down
What the fuck will you do?
When the man comes around
What the fuck will you do?
Who's gonna be there to catch you when your plans all fall through?
When you were flying your white flag
Who never gave up on you?
