Protest The Hero - Cest La Vie - GTP табы

Stepped off a chair so he could learn to let loose 
learn to let loose before the pendulum wore off 
his final sound a gurgle and a cough 
and his final words "the pendulum wore off" 
stepped off a building to find concrete evidence 
concrete evidence that he'd ever make an impact 
fiction splattered into fact 
and his fiction splattered into another sidewalk painting on display 
stepped off a bridge so he could make a splash 
to make a splash he had to flounder like a fish out of water 
another lamb that chose the slaughter 
stepped off a chair so he could learn to let loose 
learn to let loose before the pendulum wore off 
his final sound a gurgle and a cough 
stepped off a platform and briefly made the news 
made the news and made the trains run fifteen minutes late 
oh what a price to pay to be the author of your fate 
the trains were fifteen minutes late (to be the author of your fate) 
c'est la vie! a drooling old bitch and a house full of lies 
c'est la vie! the little things that kill you make you glad to be alive 
c'est la vie! disease in your genes and ocean levels on the rise 
c'est la vie! sing a song of living before everybody dies
