Come What May
Stone Sour Lyrics

Can you take away every single day
Can you undo all the actions we have taken so far?

That we have given to another false prophet?
That we have entrusted to someone who is deceitful and misguided?

Can you give us all a reason not to fall
Can you convince us to not give in to despair?

Before you take away another broken promise?
Before you fail to keep yet another commitment?

Show your pretty face
Reveal your true intentions and character

Hide the bitter taste
Conceal the unpleasant reality that you present

You're still the rapist of an entire nation
You continue to violate and harm a whole community of people

You wanna be the man?
Do you aspire to be a leader?

You gotta be a man
You have to possess qualities of strength, courage and integrity

But you are nothing but a sad insinuation
But you are merely a negative suggestion or hint

Keep your fingers crossed, the truth is at a loss
You hope that the reality remains hidden or obscured

Big decision for an ordinary coward
A significant and difficult choice that a person lacking in courage must make

The only problem is your fuckin' rhetoric
The main difficulty lies in your empty and misleading statements

We're more in danger than before you took power
We are now in a more precarious and unsafe position since you rose to authority

Now it's just a game
Now it's merely a matter of strategy and competition for you

God, you'll never change
You will always remain the same - selfish, deceitful and dishonest

You'd sell us out if you could only find a buyer
You would betray and sacrifice our wellbeing if it benefited you or your allies

You don't give a shit
You are indifferent to our suffering and misfortune

As long as idiots are in your corner, you could set us all on fire
As long as your supporters are loyal to you, you could harm and endanger us without consequences

You never wanted to be, they only wanted a parody
You did not aspire to lead, but others only wanted a mockery or imitation of leadership

You want the world to be free?
Do you seek to promote freedom and liberation?

What the hell is free about it?
How is it actually free or liberated if it comes at a cost of oppression, injustice and exploitation?

Now we've reached the end, just get it over with
We have come to the conclusion, so let's conclude it without further delay or hesitation

But this is building to an adamant conclusion
However, the resolution is becoming more fixed and determined

Come whatever may, there's gonna be a day
Regardless of the outcome, there will be a time

When we have figured out a plausible solution
When we have discovered and implemented a viable answer

Everything you've done is killing everyone
Your actions have been causing harm and death to all of us

A little smile on a homicidal bastard
A slight grin on someone who is murderous and evil

You wanna be the man?
Do you aspire to be a figure of authority and power?

You better have a plan
You should have a well thought-out and comprehensive strategy

Another failure is a guaranteed disaster
Another defeat or mistake will result in a sure catastrophe
