Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There's no clarity in front of me
Only degrees of hating
Obscenity, there's no charity
Some don't deserve to make it
You'll blame and fight each other
For just a slice of plunder
Too down and tired to wonder
Whose foot you're crawling under
[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Ah-ah, oh-oh-oh (Ah-ah, oh-oh-oh)
You're on your own
You're on your own
[Verse 2]
Read carefully, can't possibly
A threat to future earnings
Suspiciously, through editing
The facts are disappearing
With discipline and message
You'll take awkward possession
Of nothing you really wanted
Welcome, congratulations
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, you're on
You're on your own
[Verse 3]
There's no clarity in front me
Only degrees of hating
Obscenity, there's no charity
Some don't deserve to make it
You'll blame and fight each other
For just a slice of plunder
Too down and tired to wonder
Whose foot you're crawling under
[Refrain]
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Ah-ah, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Ah-ah, oh-oh-oh
Ah-ah, oh-oh-oh-oh
