we didnt have enough time, not enough time to do what we wanted, to do what we started, before we got parted, at the party. all my friends were there and you were too. you could see that i could see through you. was i so boring i started you snoring? why did you sleep in the corner like a heap of clothes? who knows? i was gonna call you up. im not gonna. got your number but i dont know where. i dont care. dont tell me you had to much to drink. i was standing with you by the sink. was i so boring i started you snoring? why did you sleep in the corner like a heap of clothes. who knows? i was gonna call you up. im not gonna. i got your number but i dont know where. i dont care. we didnt have enought time, not enought time to do what we wanted, what we started, before we parted, at the party.
where you going?
do you even care?
driven to distraction
drives you to despair
you just spin your wheels
i recognize the panic
that your confidence conceals
it’s your life
you decide
you’re in control
enjoy the ride
i hope when you begin to slide
that you know how to stop in time
heading for a head on
can’t you see the signs?
you can’t even see the road
just the little white lines
the needle rides on empty
you exhale the exhaust
you smile and nod your head and tell me
that you’re sure you’re not lost
asleep at the wheel, open your eyes
this is for real, this is your life
fast as hell isn’t to fast to die
drive on by
riding high
its an easy life
kiss it goodbye
let’s bail.
i don’t wanna’ be here.
let’s bail.
i wanna’ leave here.
let’s bail.
let’s bail.
let’s bail.
this is the most boring place i know.
like a mashed potato sandwich with mayo, on white.
chances are that fun is somewhere else,
so let’s go there,
and leave this mess alone.
let’s bail.
once you recognize the truth tell me what do you do?
it’s inside of me and its inside of you,
addicted to the sickness its an actual fact,
all i know is i hope we’re better than that.
we try to lend a hand, to help our fellow man,
we cooperate enough to stay alive,
but what is said and done, its all about number one,
and the devotion to the trinity of me, myself and i.
once you recognize the truth tell me what do you do?
it’s inside of me and its inside of you,
addicted to the sickness its an actual fact,
all i know is i hope we’re better than that.
i remember once this guy, made my girl cry,
so i went to get a hammer to break his knees,
nothing came of it, except just macho bullshit,
or expression of the symptoms of the naked ape’s diease.
and the nightmare keeps repeating,
while the consciences are sleeping,
untroubled and unclean.
this cool girl that i know went and had a baby,
an amazing leap of faith,and when i see them,
she lets me hold the kid a while,
and i watch the baby smile,
i thought i’d outgrown hope,
but what i see there gives me reason.
once you recognize the truth tell me what do you do?
it’s inside of me and its inside of you,
addicted to the sickness its an actual fact,
all i know is i hope we’re better than that,
all i know is i hope we’re better than that,
oh we’re better than that,
oh we’re better than that,
all i know is i hope we’re better than that.
