[Verse 1]
An instrument of good intent
A virtue left revealing
Noble acts replace the fact
That some things are worth stealing

[Pre-Chorus]
Push it all away
Get back to the process
Imitate obey, listen for delay
The champions will take their place

[Chorus]
I used to be good once
But now I get nervous
I used to be good once
Used to be gorgeous

[Verse 2]
Argumental dissidents
A lesson loses meaning
Information gone astray
Now seeing is believing

[Pre-Chorus]
Give it all away
Get back to the process
Imitate, obey, listen for delay
The champions will take their place
[Chorus]
I used to be good once
But now I get nervous
I used to be good once
Used to be gorgeous
It's just a symphony of silence
Medicated by science
It goes on and on and on and on and on

[Post-Chorus]
I used to be
Anything
I used to be

[Chorus]
I used to be good once
But now I get nervous
I used to be good once
Used to be gorgeous
It’s just a symphony of silence
Medicated by science
I used to be good once (Good once)
I used to be good once (Good once)
