[Clown MC]
Woke up this morning
Saw they clipped your wings
Now I'm alone and
Wondering what this means
Right in this moment
You'll find me
Dreaming bout yesterday
[Venice] (Spoken)
Citizens of Venice. Tonight, we rise up in revolution! Our enemies showed us no mercy, and we will show none in return. Help us rid this city of those traitors once and for all. Venice is for Venice, my fellow citizens. Venice is for Venice!
[Clown MC]
What have you become?
When we needed you most I watched you succumb
Where's all that wisdom?
That we saw in you -- made us fall for you
Now we're back back in the same damn position
Your face is the same but the words spoken
Different
You were just like me but now you're just like
Them
Is the world so f**ed you've already given in?
[Venice]
Where did I go wrong?
Betrayed by the people that I trusted so long
We're right where we started
We keep keeping on
Crumbled are the steps of the dream I stood upon
But I know -- I know
I know that's not me
So disgraced by my hand on her face
As I stand dismayed
By the mess that I've made
Let me be
[Clown MC]
With the world showing
Its ugly head once again
Here you are stuck between us and them
Maybe you know something that we don't
Maybe there's a way, maybe there's still hope
But I don't recognize you
Don't understand
How the same damn man
Who gave hope to the land
Can stand before us and command
That we're going back back and
You've changed your stance
[Venice]
How did I get here?
Where did I misstep?
This monster is growing with every breath
I'm not who I am
Who am I
Here I stand
A shade of a man
With peace in his hand
[Anna, Michael, Hailey & Ensemble]
You told them to trust you
You said they'd be better than before
And now that they've tasted
Your dream --
They can't go back to where we were
[Clown MC]
Where we were
Woke up this morning
Saw they clipped your wings
Now I'm alone and
Wondering what this means
[Venice]
Right in this moment
You'll find me
Dreaming bout yesterday
