hey degenerate
just how long can you fake it?
i saw you upstairs dressing down
you're not so tall without your crown

the legend took a while to crack
but it won't bring our dead friends back
took some good folks, you sealed their fate
not bad for a degenerate

ooh ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh

hey degenerate
just how low can you take it?
i know you're feeling kinda fuzzy
you're strapped in your own muzzle, honey
your chin is up when you take flack
when orders come you don't look back
now you're feeling sorta bored
was this what you'd been working toward?

ooh ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh

on the way up to nothing
you're bound to learn something
what will you write home about?
on the way to a morning
you might have a dream
i'm not looking for answers
but you know i'm upset
not looking for meaning
but do you regret it?

hey degenerate
just how high do the stakes get?
i saw you wrestle kids away
from good mothers with bills to pay
you're kinda quiet out at lunch
don't joke around with the boys as much
that tinge you feel its not too late
not even for a degenerate

ooh ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh

on the way up to nothing
what will you glean?
and i cool my self off with my head in the stream
of consciousness
i'm not looking for payback
i'll say at the outset
but do you regret it?
do you regret it?
do you regret it?

do you regret it?
