[00:13.200]Unnerved by, the immensities of life
[00:19.740]And the pull of, the empty hollow
[00:25.450]A stadium of space, creates a strong, undertow
[00:31.850]As he stands, beneath, the soulless sky
[00:39.180]Stay sharp, stay sharp and stay alive
[00:45.860]Stay sharp, stay sharp and stay alive
[00:53.620]He stands watching the crowds pass by
[01:00.310]A heard of faceless, bodies that he has served
[01:06.780]It's like he's watching a TV nature show
[01:12.870]And the crowd becomes a shuffing herd of buffalo
[01:20.280]Stay sharp, stay sharp and stay alive
[01:26.580]Stay sharp, stay sharp and stay alive
[01:34.070]So he stands, a brave American hero
[01:42.510]But with a famished feeling deep inside
[01:51.490]A void where his best parts should lie
[01:59.420]Stay sharp, stay sharp, stay alive
[02:24.510]And it's the randomness that wears you down
[02:31.290]Sometimes as slight as bending to tie your boot
[02:37.730]Or turning your head left instead of right
[02:44.020]Random how that shit does twist your mind
[02:52.880]So it stays inside
[02:56.960]Stay sharp, stay sharp, and stay alive
[03:03.310]Stay sharp, stay sharp, and stay alive
[03:10.700]So he stands, a strong brave American hero
[03:19.160]He'll take your praise but you will never know
[03:27.450]And he is what you want him to be
[03:36.300]A face for your hopes and all your dreams
[03:44.140]And the mantra he echoes and repeats
[03:52.480]Fits in, but he's thinking of home
[03:59.790]Oh but he's thinking of home
[04:08.190]Oh but he's thinking of home
[04:17.330]Stay sharp, stay sharp, and stay alive
[04:25.780]And Stay sharp and stay alive
