Outdone - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Everything's fine for now, no one's really laughing

Everything's just alright, or is it now?

Is there enough truth around to keep moving on?

We can cut the cord now, just drag it along

Now there's too many people trying too hard

Not to be outdone

They follow close behind their proud

Smoking gun

Well, it's up to you and me whether to pay 'em any mind

Some people turn to tomorrow, and some a bottle of wine

Remember back when there could be no wrong?

Well, it's different for everyone until it's gone

Now there's too many people trying too hard

Not to be outdone

They follow close behind their proud

Smoking gun

Things are breaking down

Not being patched up

Think it over again

The dreams come and go but one thing remains

In the back of your mind, it won't go away

Saying, "Take a look around and tell me everything's just fine"

Well, from what I can see now, we'd be fools or lying

Now there's too many people trying too hard

Not to be outdone

They follow close behind their proud

Smoking gun

Well, they say, "Take the leap from the common heap"

But first look around past the college grounds

To the people where of more than themselves they care
