It's a curse, in a cycle of misbelief and it keeps on 
happening.
A tradition, a trail of deceit, I never stopped and 
questioned,
"Why, is it so damn hard to find anyone who could get 
behind,
Such a simple plot?" Keep your eye on the prize, keep 
your eye on the prize!

Think what you want, believe what you think,
And know what you believe "Cause it's all misconceived.
And I asked you for nothing, nothing but, "Why?"
Because isn't an answer, it's just a reply.

It's a cure, a disciple of belief , and it keeps you 
here with me,
And it keeps on happening. And I never meant to kill 
the prize 
like an unreliable fire. Anyone can get behind,
"Keep your eye on the prize, keep your eye on the 
prize!"

Yeah, I am cynical, I am cynical.
It's a curse, it's a curse.
Oh, I am cynical, I am cynical.
It's a curse, it's a curse.

I am cynical, I have nothing you want, take everything,
Don't leave anything, hollow me, take the core, leave 
nothing at all.
I am cynical, nothing left.

Yeah, I am cynical, I am cynical.
It's a curse, it's a curse.
Oh, I am cynical, I am cynical.
It's a curse, it's a curse.
