  • Get on your knees, tell me what you believe
    In the middle of the night 'cause you'll never make it right
    I get no relief from the pain underneath
    And it's all in the fight, everybody takes a bite
    I'm here in the way, you don't know what to say
    'Cause you can't face the facts when they've caught you in the act
    Prometheus to Armageddon, we're right on track
    Like a panic attack, got a rocket on my back

    (Whoa-oh-oh) and now I'm energized
    (Whoa-oh-oh) I'm ready for a fight
    (Whoa-oh-oh) I'm sick of being nice
    (Whoa-oh-oh) light it up, light it up, light it up
    Got a rocket on my back

    It's the same old song that we've heard all along
    It's a loss by degrees, it's society's disease
    I've been pushed around, been holding it down
    While you stab me in the back and I think I'm gonna crack
    I'm sick of the way that you throw it away
    With a rabbit in the hat when they've caught you in the act
    Prometheus to Armageddon, we're right on track
    Like a panic attack, got a rocket on my back

    (Whoa-oh-oh) and now I'm energized
    (Whoa-oh-oh) I'm ready for a fight
    (Whoa-oh-oh) I'm sick of being nice
    (Whoa-oh-oh) light it up, light it up, light it up
    Got a rocket on my back

    (Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh) got a rocket on my back
    (Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh) got a rocket on my back

    And I think I'm gonna crack
    Light it up, light it up
    Got a rocket on my back

    And now I'm energized
    I'm ready for a fight
    Yea-yeah, yea-yeah
    Yea-yeah, yea-yeah

    It's the same old song that we've heard all along
    It's a loss by degrees, it's society's disease
    I've been pushed around, been holding it down
    While you stab me in the back and I think I'm gonna crack
    I'm here in the way, you don't know what to say
    'Cause you can't face the facts when they've caught you in the act
    Prometheus to Armageddon, we're right on track
    Like a panic attack, got a rocket on my back

    (Whoa-oh-oh) and now I'm energized
    (Whoa-oh-oh) I'm ready for a fight
    (Whoa-oh-oh) I'm sick of being nice
    (Whoa-oh-oh) light it up, light it up, light it up
    Got a rocket on my back
    Got a rocket on my back

    (Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh) got a rocket on my back
    (Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh) got a rocket on my back Writer/s: Bryan Keith Holland
