Lyrics

    Down on your knees,
    You'll be left behind.
    This is the beginning.
    Watch what you think,
    They can read your mind.
    This is the beginning.
    I got my moxie, and in my eyes
    This is the beginning.
    Well, my reflection I don't recognize
    This is the beginning.
    We think we've climbed so high
    Up all the backs we've come down.
    We'll face the consequence.
    This is the beginning of the end.
    
    You wait your turn,
    you'll be last in line.
    This is the beginning.
    Get out the way,
    Cause I'm getting mine.
    This is the beginning
    There are some ones,
    That can help themselves.
    This is the beginning.
    May be too late, 
    As far as I can tell.
    This is the beginning.
    We think we've come so far,
    On all the lives we've taken
    They say no consequence.
    This is the beginning of the end.
