Lyrics
Keep your head up young boy
You ought to be the best
Don’t let yourself down youngest
The first are to be last
You lay behind and you strike his heel
Take yourself in mind if you make an appeal
You cheat and lie and I know why
the first are to be last
When everything will be turned around
Forgiveness seems to be misplaced
God knows how to stop the battle
If you can keep up with his grace
Seven years before you
Seven years have passed
You worked your ass off
To complete the test
You tremble as you finally remove her veil
And behold! This is not the deal!
You're remembered to be the foreign guest
The first are to be last
When everything will be turned around
Forgiveness seems to be misplaced
God knows how to stop the battle
If you can keep up with his grace
This is how we roll
This brings invaluable heft
Think of curse to the cursed
Think of bless to the blessed
There is an eye for an eye
And you have to pass every test
To lead an honest life
To be rewarded at last
The right hand should be on the best
Curse to the cursed and bless to the blessed
The first should be best
The worst should be last
The first should be first
But the first…
