Be All That You Can't Be Lyrics - Singles - Brodway Calls

you don't stop not even to rest 

You clean up the mess you made out of our lives 

for the last time tonight 

let them see the lighter in your eyes 

they're the last ones down 

but they're the first ones out 

you're telling the stories 

you're selling the glory to the kids on the bad side of town 

and they say (woah woah woah) 

cross our fingers (woah woah woah) 

for all believers (woah woah woah) 

Only one can enter it[?] 

Chorus: 

The truth is you see troops, not children (woah oh oh) 

you smile and you pretend as you hand guns out to my friends 

You sell these kids a new beginning (woah oh oh) 

You smile and you pretend as you hand guns out, guns out to my friends 

A new crop so hard to resist 

you're selling the kids with limited options to the lowest bid 

safety in numbers proved wrong again 

they're the last ones down 

but they're the first ones out 

you're telling the stories 

you're selling the glory to the kids on the bad side of town 

The truth is you see troops, not children (woah oh oh) 

you smile and you pretend as you hand guns out to my friends 

You sell these kids a new beginning (woah oh oh) 

You smile and you pretend as you hand guns out, guns out to my friends 

I gotta know who you are, [the suspence is killing me] 

the kids are back together while you set them up to take the fall 

I gotta know who you are [the suspence is killing me] 

The kids are back togethere while you set them up to take the fall 

The kids are running on alcohol 

with no clue, their backs against the wall
