Lyrics
There was an average Monday
Describes a regular Monday
There was a movie star
References a movie star
There was a man with a gun
Highlights a man with a gun
There was a getaway car
Mentions a getaway car
There was a moment's confusion
Notes a moment of confusion
Then all hell broke loose
Chaos ensues
There was immediate action
Immediate action is taken
There was nothing left to do
Nothing remains to be done
This wasn't up to me but the damage is already done
Expresses lack of control over a situation
Let me introduce myself you're in the presence of your brand new number one
Introduces oneself as the new number one
Responsibility, you know the boots I fill are large
Acknowledges a significant responsibility
One thing I'm sure of here is that Alexander is in charge
Affirms that Alexander is in charge
There were a million questions
Lists numerous questions
There was a helping hand
Refers to a helping hand and opportunity
Opportunity
Mentions a chain of command
And a chain of command
Describes the breaking of the chain by a select few
And now the chain has been broken
Chosen few disrupt the established order
By the chosen few
Implies a duty to act
And when you're all in line
Suggests following orders
I did what I had to do
Performed necessary actions
This wasn't up to me but the damage is already done
Reiterates lack of control over consequences
Let me introduce myself you're in the presence of your brand new number one
Reintroduces oneself as the new number one
Responsibility, you know the boots I fill are large
Reiterates a significant responsibility
One thing I'm sure of here is that Alexander is in charge
Reaffirms that Alexander is in charge
I'm fifth in line
States position as fifth in line
I'm only three away from right
Expresses proximity to a position of authority
And I think I've proven myself
Asserts proven capability
Cause this is war
Declares a state of war
Someone must win the fight
Emphasizes the necessity of winning
So quick to judge on a minor oversight
Comments on quick judgment over minor mistakes
Fate has a funny way of knowing what you bring
Reflects on fate and its unpredictable nature
One shot one chance is yours for changing everything
Highlights the significance of one opportunity
It all seems so perfect now it all seems like you're impressed
Comments on the apparent perfection of the situation
And given half the chance yuou know it works out for the best
Suggests positive outcomes with given opportunities
This wasn't up to me but the damage is already done
Reiterates lack of control over consequences
Let me introduce myself you're in the presence of your brand new number one
Reintroduces oneself as the new number one
Responsibility, you know the boots I fill are large
Reiterates a significant responsibility
One thing I'm sure of here is that Alexander is in charge
Reaffirms that Alexander is in charge
