Responsibility

Rainbow streets That's where we lived in peace Kids all around your feet You as the centerpiece Spinnin' wheels You left the candy fields Now when we sit for meals Your place is empty Trade your throne for bones and embers All for fear, no one remembers your name Never made the front pages you were dreamin' of Your Mercedes went screamin' off the rails, I know every last detail Take responsibility Your place is in the driver's seat The brakes are sittin' at your feet But you just accelerate, accelerate Look at you I see myself there too Lies painted over truth We call that family Trade your home for bones and embers All for fear, no one remembers your name It's the same one that you gave your sons and daughters Ripped the pages out and authored your fate, then you took it to the stage Take responsibility Your place is in the driver's seat The brakes are sittin' at your feet But you just accelerate, accelerate I was there screamin', "Wait!" when you pulled away Still smell and taste the time and place And the holes you make with the things you take In so many ways nothing's changed And you feel no shame, only pass the blame Though it's way too late and while everythin' breaks You accelerate, accelerate You just accelerate, accelerate Accelerate, accelerate Accelerate, accelerate Accelerate, accelerate
