[Intro]
(Passé power)
(It's so not hot to)
(Fight your way with force)
(Haven't you heard?)
(Power is so yesterday)

(It is so last year)
(To monger strength and accumulate)
(Haven't you heard?)
(Power is so yesterday)

[Chorus]
It's not like you get the best seats in heaven
For living in pain
If you feel that you need to strive
Just to feel alive
Then baby, baby, you're in vain

[Verse 1]
Then you say: "Yes, sir"
"I understand your point but there is something in me"
"That needs to be brought out"
"It'll take the best of me"
"And a lot of sacrifice, and a few lies"
I have to suffer in order to reap the luscious fruits of life
We all know they're not cheap
Don't tell me I don't gain from pain
Don't tell me it will be the same
(The art of suffering is not a game)

[Pre-Chorus]
(Passé power)
(It's so not hot to)
(Fight your way with force)
(Haven't you heard?)
(Power is so yesterday)

(It is so last year)
(To monger strength and accumulate)
(Haven't you heard?)
(Power is so yesterday)

[Chorus]
It's not like you get the best seats in heaven
For living in pain
If you feel that you need to strive
Just to feel alive
Then baby, baby, you're in vain

[Bridge]
I guess I'm on the suicide
I'm on the right side
I don't know what else will come on in time
I get enough about
Enough to shout about
I was always one to sigh
Hard, hard
I'll make it, I'll make it doing it the hard way
I love doing it the hard way
(You describe it as light and dark)
(Masculine and feminine, up or down)
(But you see everything has its opposing forces)
(And that's the way your reality has been created up to now)
(And that is a very effective way of creating reality up to a point)
(Up to the point of the spirit and the consciousness, wanting to learn of a different way)
(No longer wanting the same old repeating patterns)
(Good versus bad, drama, drama, drama)
(Your spirit gets to a point where it says)
("I know now how duality works")
("I know the battle, I know the opposing forces")
("I know neither force can ever win")

[Pre-Chorus]
(Passé power)
(It's so not hot to)
(Fight your way with force)
(Haven't you heard?)
(Power is so yesterday)

(It is so last year)
(To monger strength and accumulate)
(Haven't you heard?)
(Power is so yesterday)

[Chorus]
It's not like you get the best seats in heaven
For living in pain
It's not like you get the best seats in heaven
For living in pain
[Outro]
Then I say "yes sir"
"I understand your point"
"That you have something in you, that has to be brought out"
"But don't you want to live while you are living out your dream"
"Instead of rotting in between the stale ambitions of your scheme"
"It'll take the opposite of strain and lack of common sense"
"It doesn't take a bitch to see you're barking up that fence"
"It will not make a difference, how much power you apply"
"When everything dense, a breath can defy"
