lyrics

And I love you, but when will you figure it out?
When you're holding the gun, can you figure it out?
When you're choosing a side, will you figure it out?
Can you figure it out?
Figure it out!

When the conflict begins, will you figure it out?
Standing on battlelines, will you figure it out?
When it's too far to switch, will you figure it out?
Can your figure it out!?
Figure it out!

And your knowledge, it ends with the current age
And you're building to something you cannot name
You're perputally sinking, you deny and say
It'll be okay but it won't be okay!

And your process is just misdirected rage,
And I tell you and still you're a little late.
And they're not gonna win and it's a such a shame,
That you threw in with them, you threw it all away.

I don't trust you to know you can figure it out.
And I need you to show you can figure it out.
And the chasm that builds when you're not around.
It puts it all in doubt and then I need to shout.

That I love you, but when will you figure it out?
When you're holding the gun, can you figure it out?
And you're choosing a side, will you figure it out?
Can you figure it out?
Figure it out!

And I keep losing friends in the culture wars,
And I keep moving forward, losing your support.
And emotions that build behind closing doors,
They blow us all apart, and they can't be ignored.

And I love you, but when will you figure it out?
That you're holding the gun, can you figure it out?
And you're choosing a side can you figure it out?
Can you figure it out?
Figure it out!

Figure it out...
Figure it out...
Figure it out...

Figure it out!
