Simple City - Defeat The Low

Pick your purpose, pick your goal

Go with something you’ve been shown

Because you’re so out of touch and misdirected

Once again you’re disconnected

We’ve killed our city with these scenes

We’ve really made a mess of things

This is holding my attention anymore

We’ve traded in our honesty and all of our creativity

For someone else’s dreams

That’s all you do is assume that there is nothing you can do

That’s all you do is assume that there is nothing you can do

I’d beg to differ that you’d see that your past ways are not unique

With your bait and your switch, you are not fooling me

We’ve killed our city with these scenes

We’ve really made a mess of things

This is holding my attention anymore

We’ve traded in our honesty and all of our creativity

For someone else’s dreams

I never need to speak, I don’t ever need to speak

I sit back and watch as you--I sit back and just let you--

As you talk, you talk yourself deep into a hole

Into your trench of ignorance

We’ve killed our city with these scenes

We’ve really made a mess of things

This is holding my attention anymore

We’ve traded in our honesty and all of our creativity

For someone else’s dreams
