You Too
by Max Bombast
Chorus riff on loan from American Woman by The Guess Who

We ran the show but now we're stepping aside
Gotta change up the lineup if we're gonna survive
It's time for you to take the reigns from us before it's too late
And now you too can have a chance to make the mistakes

We had one shot
We cocked it up
And the ricochet rebounded back at us
We set our sights
And then we missed
We ran out of all our old ideas and yet you persisted

You too could rule the world
How badly could you do?
We kings ran things for years and left the earth
Royally screwed
Here, take the keys, because
We've lost the right to lead
And now you too can take a turn
We're sorry that we left it burning

We ran the show but now we're stepping aside
Gotta change up the lineup if we're gonna survive
It's time for you to take the reigns from us before it's too late
And now you too can have a chance to make the mistakes

We lit it up
We burned it down
We ran the whole world straight into the ground
Now it's your turn
To set things right
And I don't envy every uphill battle you will have to fight

You, too, will try your best
You'll have to compromise
You'll swear an oath to only tell the necessary lies
I hope that you won't lock the horns
Or start a never-ending war but if you do
You too are caught in the loop

We ran the show but now we're stepping aside
Gotta change up the lineup if we're gonna survive
It's time for you to take the reigns from us before it's too late
And now you too can have a chance to make the mistakes

Here, take the keys, because
We've lost the right to lead
And now you too can take a turn
We're sorry that we left it burning
You won't lock the horns
Or start a never-ending war but if you do
You too are caught in the loop

I like the story, but unfortunately I don’t think our current leadership is going to hand over the keys to anyone. The next generation is going to have to take it from them. I kinda wish the song was from the POV of that generation. The verses are much more catchy & enjoyable than the chorus is. I think it’s a solid song overall, but not having a catchy hook hurts a bit.
