We’re Only Gonna Die for Our Arrogance Lyrics

[Verse]
Early man walked away
As modern man took control
Their minds weren't all the same
To conquer was their goal
So, he built his great empire
And he slaughtered his own kind
He died a confused man
Killed himself with his own mind

[Verse]
Early man walked away
As modern man took control
Their minds weren't all the same
And to conquer was their goal
So, he built his great empire
And he slaughtered his own kind
And he died a confused man
And killed himself with his own mind
Let's go!

[Verse]
Early man walked away
As modern man took control
Their minds weren't all the same
And to conquer was their goal
So, he built his great empire
And he slaughtered his own kind
He died a confused man
Killed himself with his own mind
Let's go!
[Interlude]
Punks are running wild in the street and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it. It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out anymore. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, "Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Just leave us alone." Well, I'm not gonna leave you alone

[Verse]
Early man walked away
As modern man took control
Their minds weren't all the same
And to conquer was their goal
So, he built his great empire
And he slaughtered his own kind
And he died a confused man
And killed himself with his own mind
Let's go!

[Verse]
Early man walked away
As modern man took control
Their minds weren't all the same
And to conquer was their goal
So, he built his great empire
And he slaughtered his own kind
He died a confused man
And killed himself with his own mind
Let's go!

[Outro]
We're only gonna die from our own arrogance
That's why we might as well take our time

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
