lyrics

you've got a plan
and the temerity
to make the world as you expect it to be
you show no mercy, you show no mercy
to the people you love

you've got the grades
you've got your autotune
you've got the face
and matching attitude
you show no mercy, you show no mercy
to the people you love

one door closes and
another opens wide
below you voices call you
they think they know you well enough to say

come down, where you oughta be
no one here gets to fly so easily
come down, where you oughta be

you're on the screen
out on the satellite
over our heads
and under copyright
you show no mercy, you show no mercy
to the people you love

we caught your buzz
and now you're in-between
best of the year and new favorite enemy
you show no mercy, you show no mercy
to the people you love

one more hopeful girl
another broken crown
above you faces watch you
they don't think you'll go far enough to say

come down, where you oughta be (you got nothin' to say)
no one here gets to fly so easily
come down, where you oughta be (you got nothin' to say)
why try to deny that it's destiny?
come down, where you oughta be

so shut your eyes
and try not to look down
it's a subtle tightrope
waiting for your chance to come around

you had your time
but now you're overdue
a faded line, all we remember of you
you showed no mercy, you showed no mercy
to yourself

come down, where you oughta be (you got nothin' to say)
no one here gets to fly so easily
come down, where you oughta be (you got nothin' to say)
why try to deny that it's destiny
come down, where you oughta be (you got nothin' to say)
it's not fair and how dare you, honestly?
come down, where you oughta be
