Dr. Horrible’s “On the Rise”

Any dolt with half a brain


Can see that humankind has gone insane


To the point where I don’t know if I’ll upset the status quo


If I throw poison in the watermain.



Listen close to everybody’s heart


And hear that breaking sound


Hopes and dreams are shattering apart


And crashing to the ground


I cannot believe my eyes


How the world’s filled with filth and lies


but it’s plain to see evil inside of me, is on the rise



Look around


We’re living with the lost and found


Just when you feel you’ve almost drowned


You find yourself on solid ground



And you believe there’s good in everybody’s heart


Keep it safe and sound


With hope you can do your part


To turn a life around

I cannot believe my eyes


Is the world finally growing wise


Because it seems to me some kind of harmony


Is on the rise
