lyrics

Looking forward, feeling lucky, hope at every turn
A fresh face and warm embrace a future yet to earn
Cool, calm, and calculated - You know what you can be
Everything as advertised
The world is full of heavy hands that want to take you in
Hope you know just what they have in mind

Time is passing, links aren't lasting, hope was just a dream
Complicating everything - The social network scene
What you’ve bought and had been taught are not the things you sought
It just wasn't advertised
The world is full of heavy hands that want to take you in
Hope you know just what they have in mind

Feeble fires, fake desires, smiling but, unkind
Taking chances, sidelong glances put it in its time
Go on and seek it out, you'll disappoint your mind
Focusing on random doubts will pull you underneath the wheel and
Strip you of your you

In the end you can't pretend - it isn’t who you are
All and all you’ve kept it going - pushing to the stars
Never looking back until your seasoned and retired
Sense just can’t be advertised
The world is full of heavy hands that want to take you in
Hope you know just what they have in mind
