[Verse]
 
Am        C               G      D
What will prove to be our big mistake?
Am            C          G            D
Short-sighted arrogance, all for what sake?
    Am          C           G           D
Our families to ashes, our ambitions to dust
    Am          C                  D
Our progeny, in silence, thinking "what about us?"
Em        C  D       Em       C  D
But don't forget the dance of neglect
 
 
[Chorus]
 
    Em          C            G   D
The march for empowering prosperity
    Em                 C               G   D
The pain from loss and want for mere lucidity
                          C
Just maternal residue and I was there too
    Em
And maybe so were you

[Verse 2]
 
Am               C                   G     D
When something is won, it comes with sacrifice
     Am                C        G         D
It's there beneath the joy, the glory and pride
Am             C                 G        D
Rarely it's acknowledged, but in positive light
Am           C           D
Consciously omitting the losers plight
Em        C  D       Em       C  D
But don't forget the dance of neglect
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
    Em          C            G   D
The craving for community that never was met
    Em          C            G   D
The longing for status and overture of regret
                        C
With no one to deter pathetically unsure
   Em
Forgetting who they were
 
 
[Solo]

[Bridge]
 
                          C
Just maternal residue and I was there too
    Em
And maybe so were you

              What will prove to be our big mistake?
Short-sighted arrogance all for what sake?

Our progeny in silence thinking "what about us?"
But don't forget
The dance of neglect
The march for empowering prosperity
The pain from loss and want for mere lucidity
Just maternal residue, and I was there too

When something is won it comes with sacrifice
It's there beneath the joy, the glory, and pride
And rarely it's acknowledged but in positive light
Consciously omitting the losers plight
But don't forget
The dance of neglect
The craving for community that never was met
The longing for status and the overture of regret
With no one to deter, pathetically unsure
Forgetting who they were
