And a Dreligious figure, Ewho's not really a religious Dfigure
Cause he's an EactorD  
EWe feel okay, which is Dhow we feel most of the time, now
ENothing can be done withDout the willingness
To EsucceedD  
ELet's go to the opera Dsince 
EAll of our favorite memories have Dfailed us
EYou make the choice, Dyou make the choice,
EYou make the choice, Dyou make the choice
(no guitar for this gap)
E D E D
EHistoric properties, Dhistoric places
EThe next generation Dlost in a sea of faces
EThere's no hope for generating Delectricity
ENo sidewalks, DI just need some kicks
EYou make the choice, Dyou make the choice,
EYou make the choice, Dyou make the choice
