Everyday you squander Looking out for number one It's a ride on the roundabout Everything is broken Everything is hard to find Nothing's left for the last in line You can go back To your heart attack and your starry eyes Spin me around I'm ready to drown in your lullabies And a twenty-first-century high Everything's a shining Vision of a smiling face Let's break into a brighter day - yeah Everyone is climbing Up and down a diamond mine Nothing's left for the last in line You can go back To your heart attack and your starry eyes Spin me around I'm ready to drown in your lullabies And a twenty-first-century high You can go back... You can go back...

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Born into Nixon, I was raised in hell A welfare child where the teamsters dwelled The last one born, and the first one to run My town was blind from refinery sun My generation is zero I never made it as a working class hero 21st century breakdown I once was lost, but never was found I think I'm losing what's left of my mind To the 20th century deadline Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh I was made of poison and blood Condemnation is what I understood Video games through the towers' fall Homeland security could kill us all My generation is zero I never made it as a working class hero 21st century breakdown I once was lost, but never was found I think I'm losing what's left of my mind To the 20th century deadline We are the class of, the class of '13 Born in the era of humility We are the desperate in the decline Raised by the bastards of 1969 My name is no one, the long lost son Born on the Fourth of July Raised through the era of heroes and cons That left me for dead or alive I am a nation, a worker of pride (hey!) My debt to the status quo The scars on my hands and a means to an end It's all that I have to show Hey! Hey! Hey! I swallowed my pride, and I choked on my faith I've given my heart and my soul I've broken my fingers and lied through my teeth The pillar of damage control I've been to the edge, and I've thrown the bouquet (hey!) Of flowers left over from the grave I've sat in the waiting room wasting my time And waiting for judgment day I praise liberty The freedom to obey Is the song that strangles me Well, don't cross the line Oh, dream, America, dream I can't even sleep From the light's early dawn Oh, scream, America, scream Believe what you see From heroes and cons

Took it back in time Take it in your stride The mother in your mind Are you saving a life The tides are comin' in slow Everything is unknown Just need you at home You had every right I wanna be well but don't wanna try All I can hear is my daughter cry The weight of the sun is making me thin Burning my skin Wish I could see autumn The way I've been falling I wanna be free Carelessly me It's summertime low With everything golden It's hard to be open I'm missing your touch Not alone but enough To have a summertime low You know I'll never miss the smell Of your obvious tell Or your shit magic spells The stars do not care Wish I could see autumn The way I've been falling I wanna be free Carelessly me It's summertime low With everything golden It's hard to be open I'm missing your touch Not alone but enough To have a summertime low I wanna be well but don't wanna try All I can hear is my daughter cry The weight of the sun is making me thin Burning my skin, wish I could hear All of the ways you sing in the dark Brutally honest but always harsh Weight of the world is breaking my back Where were you at? Wish I could see autumn The way I've been falling I wanna be free Carelessly me It's summertime low With everything golden It's hard to be open I'm missing your touch Not alone but enough To have a summertime low

You tried So try again You never know You've cried You'll cry again You bare your soul No one understands you're on your own You're not the only one who feels alone We know the feeling Just believe me It's nearly morning Any second now We know the feeling Just believe me It's nearly morning Any second now It hurts It really hurts It's in your blood To give Yourself away For nothing much When no one understands you're breaking ground You're not the only one who can't be found We know the feeling Just believe me It's nearly morning Any second now We know the feeling Just believe me It's nearly morning Any second now Any second now Any second now As sure as the night will cover your eyes As sure as the voices telling you lies Counting the days that never arrive Any second now As sure as the stones that slow you feet down As sure as the circles turning you round Always a piece that never gets found Any second now All of the time you thought you got close How hard it is to love those old ghosts You get the least but you give up the most Any second now We know the feeling Just believe me It's nearly morning Any second now We know the feeling Just believe me It's nearly morning Any second now We know the feeling Just believe me It's nearly morning

Sweetheart, would you wake up today? I promise, you would recognise my face I wanna show you how I've grown in this place In this place I'm not alone and I know I'll be okay But it's always harder when the winter comes to stay When I can't help but remember all the words I'd never say And it's killing me that you're not here with me I'm living happily, but I'm feeling guilty Oh you won't believe the wonders I can see This world is changing me, but I'll love you faithfully Everything is taller these days Or maybe I feel smaller and time rushes away There's so much I could show you Oh, great grandchildren have been laughing Like we did when we were young Oh, I've been laughing like we did when we were young But it's killing me that you're not here with me I'm living happily, but I'm feeling guilty Oh you won't believe the wonders I can see This world is changing me, but I'll love you faithfully Oh, it's killing me that you're not here with me I'm living happily, but I'm feeling guilty Oh you won't believe the wonders I can see This world is changing me, but I'll love you faithfully Yeah, it's killing me that you're not here with me I'm living happily, but I'm feeling guilty Oh you won't believe the wonders I can see This world is changing me, but I'll love you faithfully

I'm still hoping It's ever coming Just tell me something Can I stop running? Yea, I broke through Walls to get back up to yours Now I am unglued Nothing left undone Light is coming on everywhere Something in the back of my mind Is running scared Time is running on year on year River ever rolling But I'm still standing here The hours soften The heavens open One look in your eye And I know, I know I'm almost home One look in your eye Light is coming on everywhere Something in the back of my mind Is running scared Time is running on year on year River ever rolling But I'm still standing here Rest assured my soul That everyone's restless It's been quite a fall for everyone You've got more than most So look above the sun Light is coming on everywhere Something in the back of my mind Is running scared Time is running on year on year River ever rolling But I'm still standing here Light is coming on everywhere Something in my mind is scared I'm still

Maybe there's another way around So we can live this upside down It's hard now for an honest man Is that what I am, an honest man? You're the kind who seems Too beautiful and out of reach For me, I'm in, I've got you underneath my skin I fall apart to look away is getting hard Maybe we could just let go And say "Yes" when the signs say "No" Breathe in, lean to kiss your lips Then my eyes eclipse and it all goes dark Oh, you're the kind who seems Too beautiful and out of reach For me, I'm in, I've got you underneath my skin I fall apart to look away is getting hard Oh, you're the kind who seems Too beautiful and out of reach For me, I'm in, I've got you underneath my skin I fall apart to look away is getting hard Maybe we could just let go And say "Yes" when the signs say "No" Breathe in, lean to kiss your lips Then my eyes eclipse and it all goes dark
