All bets are off!
We took turns guessing how the tabs would drop
Our one mistake was thinking something might stay aloft
But now we know better

We took to the roads
The highest ones, that all the saints foretold
But now we see that ancient gets too old
Yeah, now we know better

Because it’s not enough just to say, “Hey, I can be tough!”
If fighting’s half the battle, it’s a gamble just to see who stands
So I say, Get out while you can!

Well, I’ve been caught
Where you could save or lose what all you’ve got
The space between getting saved and getting shot
And now I know better

Than to tempt fate
My hesitation’s taught me not to wait
So when you’re positive that it’s too late
Yeah, then you’ll know better

Chorus

As far as futures go, you’re in the air, trying not to look below
But don’t trust gravity to break its laws and let you down slow
Still, then you’ll know

Better watch your head!
Your ears don’t seem to hear the words you said
Your eyes don’t seem to see the blood you’ve bled
Your brain don’t know better

Better, better run
There’ll come a day when you will see the sun
So when you forsake everything you’ve done,
Yeah, then you’ll know better

Because it’s not enough just to say, “Hey, I can be tough!”
If fighting’s half the battle, it’s a gamble just to see who stands
When you’re stuck in the middle, you can twiddle your thumbs and watch
While the real people sacrifice you pawns for their master plans
So I say, Get out while you can!
