Everything you do it comes back to you
Whatever it may be
If it isn’t one thing rest assured that something
Will come back and pay you for your deed
A shortcut’s a self defeating means, if you cannot do it clean
You’ll never reach your reward
And when the day is done, what you receive is the sum
Of what you took out, from what you put in
Times deep in a dream seem a veiled realm
Shadows what I think and feel is real
Times in our tribe feel the tribe when we thrive
We have no fear of death and no fear of life
I can’t forget you and our version of paradise
I can’t forget you and our version of paradise
Everything you do it comes back to you, whatever it may be
What you did as a devil or did as an angel
The favor returns itself somehow
If you take my money I’ll buy you a drink and you’ll see
That no one rides for free
Afraid of what I said then your mind is stricken
I’m wearing my heart sleeveless and I’m always up for kickin’
This is my favorite city pity everywhere the enemy
From the beginning serious history
nothing’s ever given to no one Rides for free
From the beginning radiant energy’s
music what I need to keep my sanity
I say we fear no evolution stand up musical revolution
Follow me now when I say we can never stop in we never give
‘Cause this is how we breathe and live
Some of them whine and some of them bitch
They cannot do it we never switch
We do it for ourselves and we do it for you
If you don’t like it well I hope you do
I’ve got to be honest
I can’t forget you and our version of paradise
I can’t forget you and our version of paradise
Everything you do it comes back to you, whatever it may be
What you did as a devil or did as an angel
I can’t forget you and our version of paradise
I can’t forget you and our version of paradise
Everything you do it comes back to you, whatever it may be
What you did as a devil or did as an angel
