Take some time to look around you
Take some time to know yourself

You say i'm at the top of your list
That's where i'll stay if you persist
Pretend that you don't know what's going on
There's a thin line between love and hate
And i'll respect the walls that you create
Between the world and your friends and the people left around you
And i won't ask you to work for free
But i insist you tell the truth to me
I shouldn't have to pay for your mistakes
Give you 2 to 1 that you'll do it again
Give you 5 to 1 that you've done it since then
And it's not so hard to understand

So hold onto your friends
Cause you know that's all you've got in the end
And you can't run away without a team to back you
Don't burn your bridges down
Don't bite the hand that feeds you
Let's give credit, where credit is due

Take some time to look around you
Take some time to know yourself
We built this city on rock and roll
Two brothers in the world with a common goal
We took this town, lets take the world now

I got your letter in the mail
No return address, now tell me how to feel
Play the role of the concerned one

So hold onto your friends
Cause you know that's all you've got in the end
And you can't run away without a team to back you
Don't burn your bridges down
Don't bite the hand that feeds you
Let's give credit, where credit is due

And i'll slow this down like i know you hate it
And i know your busy, but i'll just wait
Til i can take this song and scream it in your face
My emotions get the best of me
So i'll write it all down in a melody
And i'll sing it myself to get the point accross
So put me on a list with the disappointed
That list is getting long
And you know i know i'm not the only one

Give you 2 to 1 that you'll do it again
Give you 5 to 1 that you've done it since then
And it's not so hard to understand
We built this city on rock and roll
Two brothers in the world with a common goal
We took this town, lets take the world now
