Antihéroe

Yeah, embers beneath my feet
The ruins dressed in flames and the smoke dances at dawn
The villains come out to set on fire
The world while everyone sleeps, and change when they see them
They disguise themselves as Superman
They pretend to put out the flames they just created
And then they go and blame like a criminal
Anyone who questions them or makes the people doubt

Hey
I won't slow down
Na, na, na
There may be many more
But don't forget that David could defeat Goliath

Hey
I won't slow down
Na, na, na
There may be many more
But don't forget that David could defeat Goliath

Paper heroes climb the stage
They are impostors, but many can't see it
The crowd adores, applauds, boasts that they do well
And defends them from those who doubt and don't believe
So with bats they fight against those who try to
Disprove what they believe in good faith

Meanwhile charlatans
Rejoice in
Having the world kneeling and bowing at their feet
They offer them a prison
Then they tell them that
Their cells provide protection like an aquarium to a fish

Hey
I won't slow down
Na, na, na
There may be many more
But don't forget that David could defeat Goliath

Hey
I won't slow down
Na, na, na
There may be many more
But don't forget that David could defeat Goliath

But how do you free a world that doesn't know it's imprisoned?
And how do you disillusion someone who doesn't know they've been deceived?
I am the bearer of the bad that no one wants to hear for fear of reason
My words and voice are weapon and ammunition
Trying to help those who didn't ask for it

I wanted to break those cells with strength
And sweat because I wanted to free them from that prison
When I couldn't take it anymore and the pain was defeating me
I heard the lock open

I was surprised, no one came out
And instead of being happy, they pointed at me
They saw a traitor, not a liberator
And their cages closed from the inside

Hey
I won't slow down
Na, na, na
There may be many more
But don't forget that David could defeat Goliath

Hey
I won't slow down
Na, na, na
There may be many more
But don't forget that David could defeat Goliath
