[Verse 1]
There's a fly on the wall in the house on the hill
Where the king of the world watches TV
And the people await for his latest mandate
To a nation of angry believers
His words are a drug while his loyal band of thugs
Cover up all his many transgressions
The fly lands on his ear and whispers, "What's there to fear
As long as you're still the obsession?"
[Pre-Chorus]
Is it too late to turn back now?
Too late to see the light?
Do you make a vow to Heaven and Hell?
When you wake up at night, do you ask yourself
[Chorus]
In thе end, did you feed them?
How'd you treat thеm? Is it so hard to love?
In the end, like you mean it
Like you've seen it, you get back what you give
In the end
[Verse 2]
There's a man on the cross with His arms open wide
And a fear that they'll quench the world's fires
But His name is a shield to the ones who would wield
Their own power and greed, and desire
[Chorus]
In the end, did you need them?
How'd you treat them? Is it so hard to love?
In the end, like you mean it
Like you've seen it, you get back what you give
In the end
[Post-Chorus]
Is it so hard to love?
In the end
You get back what you give
In the end
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
You'll only live once, or maybe you live twice
Depending on how well you spent it, you see
Karma's a drag, you come back as a rat
Dodging traps set by your own descendants
Is it too late to turn back now?
Too late to turn around?
You get one chance in this life
You can turn around things or you can close your eyes
[Chorus]
In the end, did you feed them?
How'd you treat them? Is it so hard to love?
In the end, like you mean it
Like you've seen it, you get back what you give
In the end
[Outro]
In the end did you hear them?
Did you feed them? Is it so hard to love?
In the end, like you mean it
Like you've seen it, you get back what you give
In the end
You get back what you give in the end
Oh, in the end
Oh, in the end
