Handicap yourself by choice   And keep the mind confined   To the chair with no voice, so speak up   (Move your lips too slow)      And make way to the center stage   And pretty up that face, 'cause your servants await   (It's time to play your role)   So sing and dance just the way we like it      Sweep the leg   If you don't stand for something   Sweep the leg   Then you don't stand for nothing   Sweep the leg   You must suffer the repercussions   Sweep the leg      A coward dies a thousand times   Death before dishonor, cross the thin red line   So stay alive   (No other place to go)      Silence the facts, delusions are corroded   Clench the fist in truth and shove it down your throats   (Don't act like you don't know)   I'm on the wrong path walking the tight rope      Sweep the leg   If you don't stand for something   Sweep the leg   Then you don't stand for nothing   Sweep the leg   You must suffer the repercussions   Sweep the leg      Mistakes and glories   They're in the ground but they were cut down   Mistakes and glories   Death doesn't lie and it won't be denied      Mistakes and glories   We answer the call but some heroes must fall   Mistakes and glories   Giving all you can give when you're dying to live      You work for us, you work for us   You work for us, you work for us   You work for us, you work for us   You work for us, you work for us      Sweep the leg   If you don't stand for something   Sweep the leg   Then you don't stand for nothing   Sweep the leg   Gotta suffer the repercussions   Sweep the leg      Mistakes and glories   They're in the ground but they were cut down   Mistakes and glories   Death doesn't lie and it won't be denied      Mistakes and glories   We answer the call but some heroes must fall   Mistakes and glories   Giving all you can give when you're dying to live      Mistakes and glories   They're in the ground but they were cut down   Mistakes and glories   Death doesn't lie and it won't be denied      Mistakes and glories   We answer the call but some heroes must fall   Mistakes and glories   Giving all you can give when you're dying to live
