R-Evolve
30 Seconds to Mars · A Beautiful Lie [2005]
The ultimate defence is to pretend
Revolve around yourself just like an ordinary man
The only other option is to forget
Does it feel like we've never been alive?
Does it seem like we've only just begun?
To find yourself just to look inside the wreckage of your past
To lose all you have to do is lie
The policy is set and we are never turning back
It's time for execution; time to execute
Time for execution; time to execute!
Does it feel like we've never been alive?
Does it seem like it's only just begun?
Does it feel like we've never been alive inside?
Does it seem it's only just begun?
It's only just begun
The evolution is coming!
A revolution has begun!
The evolution is coming!
A revolution has, yeah!
The evolution is coming!
A revolution has begun!
(Yeah, yeah!)
The evolution is coming!
A revolution has, yeah!
(Revolution,)
