Rome wasn't built in a day You gotta climb a little higher, to the top of the display Where there's a will, there's a way You just gotta slit a throat or two to make the weak obey The headlines are bloody, the red light is on I don't care for the logic, I just want them gone So smile for the camera, put on a show If you try to drag me down, then down you will go If you want it, just take it The world's yours, don't waste it Go make the stars align, to shine brighter Brighter than the heavens in the skies above (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) You'll be brighter, goin' supernova, all the eyes look up (at you, at you) Brighter Don't thank the producers, don't thank the divine This spotlight is hungry and baby, it's mine I stepped over bodies to get to the stage Now turn up the volume and let out the rage It's not a shot in the dark, not up to chance If you got plans, you'll cancel every question mark Fish like to swim next to sharks Yeah, you eat or you get eaten And you're feastin' on their hearts If you want it, just take it The world's yours, don't waste it Go make the stars align, to shine brighter To shine brighter Brighter than the heavens in the skies above (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) You'll be brighter Goin' supernova, all the eyes look up (at you, at you) Brighter! The signal is calling, controlling the mind We leave all the old-fashioned losers behind You want something newer? You want something real? Then bow to the master and seal up the deal! Burn all the scripts and tear down the walls I'm standing tall while the old empire falls! Finally, I'll show them what I'm meant to be (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) (Brighter) They won't believe their eyes when I bring them to their knees To worship me Brighter than the heavens in the skies above (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) You'll be brighter, goin' supernova, all the eyes look up (at you, at you) Brighter!
