lyrics

You’ve roamed from desert to jungle
Savored your solitude in the prison of cities
Burned every bridge that you’ve crossed
Running from no one
Never afraid
Never wishing for things you’ve lost
Like a lion
Like a prayer that sustains you every day -
So I can imagine the shock when you discover
You’re not the predator you’re the prey

I can’t tell you all the stupid things I tried to do
Wishing that it wasn’t true
I can’t tell you all the stupid things I tried to do
Wishing that it wasn’t true
And everybody says that’s just the way it is

So little one, what will you do now?
The creatures you ran with are on the hunt
And born for the break in
You can’t stop
but you can’t win
And when you become afraid
It’s the age old truth you fear
The one that swallows you whole
And makes you a part of this world’s
Harsh reality -
To survive is to be stronger
Than those who would do you harm
Go learn from the lions
But never obey -
I guess that’s all you can do
When you’re not the predator you’re the prey

I can’t tell you all the stupid things I tried to do
Wishing that it wasn’t true
I can’t tell you all the stupid things I tried to do
Wishing that it wasn’t true
And everybody says that’s just the way it is
Everybody says that’s just the way it is
Everybody says that’s just the way it is
Everybody says that’s just the way it is
