We've been waiting in the backseat, safe and sound and sleeping off Your difference in opinion on what's gonna make another million We've been openly discussing how to bring you down a notch 'Cause right now you're on top, and we can't stomach your prolific greed We are young and beautiful, feed me to the lions Why are we so terrified of being ourselves You'd have to kill me to stop me trying You'd have to feed me to the lions There's not a fire in sight but you're choking on the smoke So breathe it in and let the fumes consume the last of your bad jokes Building bridges over bridges, you're black and blue from sitting On the fence so long, make up your mind or let the wind decide 'Cause you're a contradiction of yourself, and your condition is as stable as your terms When the table turns, you sweat, we earn, we live, you learn We are young and beautiful, feed me to the lions Why are we so terrified of being ourselves You'd have to kill me to stop me trying You'd have to feed me to the lions There's not a fire in sight but you're choking on the smoke So breathe it in and let the fumes consume the last of your bad jokes We are young and beautiful, feed me to the lions Why are we so terrified of being ourselves You'd have to kill me to stop me trying You'd have to feed me to the lions
