It's always hard to tell if we're getting anywhere But progress for the sake of progress Just doesn't make much sense to me now Here we are- Trapped in the amber of the moment In the shadow of a doubt I'm getting used to the shade of this tree now (chorus) Sitting on this bench and thinking Of where I'm going And what I'm gonna be Watch the sun come up tomorrow Maybe we'll find out Let's wait and see I feel like we're all just standing on a bridge And there's two ways we can go We can walk across on To new chapters of the same old storyline Or we can take the chance to jump off and see Just how far our bodies go now

You'll get pie up in the sky In a glorious land when you die They told you to have patience Not to question, simply wait And while you stood so patiently They burned the bridge to honesty They toasted to democracy So we whispered, "Smash the state!" (chorus) We want something better Than bottles to the ground And every hymn for change Starts with the smallest sound We've read the books and seen the plans How serotonin has been banned Work and earn your pay For to be happy is a crime Money is their favorite toy Their one and only source of joy There are more important things in life Than dollars, laws, and wine!

Studio 17 02:52
We're all the same Competing in a worthless game No one knows the truth One day It just hits you Individuality has found its long lost definition A riot on the east coast The plot thrown into indecision Downbeats ripped my heart in two and left me here I'm missing you Twist and shout and Throw me out Video killed the underground (chorus) East coast riot Hit the floor Tie your shoes Walk out the door East coast riot Book of lies Punch your time card- Suicide! The footsteps at your door What are you waiting for? Watch your step Don't make a move Just avoid the three piece suits Take a number Don't take mine Hey 17 It's your time! Walking down the avenue Looking out for boys in blue Your rude boy style makes a scene At Studio 17

Throw back a bottle and toss a smile As you sip on your Bacardi like its going out of style But when you wake up on the street With a dead friend by your side There won't be any places left to hide A mother is crying Red and Blue will spin There's crimson-soaked cement A bottle full of juice and gin A silent crowd looks on From their dry-cleaned suits and ties And a little girl asks her father why (chorus) So sing this song and sleep well Singing, "Ain't it the life?" But you've brought it on yourself Hold your glass high in the air as we say good bye We'll find out tonight Throw back a bottle and toss a smile As you sip on your Bacardi like its going out of style But when you're walking crooked lines Red and blue lights spinning bright Better kneel because they'll be reading you your rights So sing this song and sleep well Screaming, "Ain't it the life?" But you've brought it on yourself Hold your glass high in the air as we say good bye

As the faucet drips I can't feel myself slipping away Will I ever Stare at the ceiling alone in my room Counting the sheep that they cloned at a government party Watching you march twenty-three years old Into a world of dangers untold A gun at your side and commands in your mind Seeing a life collapse and unfold before your eyes (chorus) Now I think that it's too late Please come home From the acid rain to the smoke in the air I feel so alone Flag covered coffins arriving in planes They don't reassure me and I don't feel safe Watching the headlights flicker By my window Just in case you didn't know Your little boy is now three years old Will your ever get to see him? Will you ever hold his hand? Well his first word was, "Daddy?" Because he doesn't understand Sitting in a plane and waiting to leave Hope in your eyes and a patch on your sleeve Think of your family, can't wait to return To a time and a place where explosions can't be heard Will you make it back? We don't know Surprise attack as its time to go You start to cry Can't take another second Emotions take over and you didn't expect it

Anachronism 04:38
So I'll sing this song again as we go our separate ways To avoid the feelings and Go marching on and on in a cycle we won't believe in There's a choice to make Another heart to break and so we say Maybe another day Another time, Another life Just another card that we forgot to play One upon a midnight dreary Deep within the silent night The repetition of your story Dead to me, well, you just might be… You just might be… So put up walls with nothing said You've built a framework in your head That's telling you Not to fix this Get up and dance, forget the fight Throw aside your fears tonight I'll meet you by the streetlight There's no more passion, but I can see That you mean the world to me Even if its not in this game Of romance that we've played Once upon a midnight dreary Quoth the raven, "Nevermore" But I won't be your lost Lenore And there's a chalk-line on the floor A mystery spelled out on the floor… Old-fashioned catastrophic romance Where no one stands a chance Resort to march by ourselves Ourselves!

Over the river and through the woods In the footsteps of Thoreau Sing-alongs through the day Dandelion bouquets From modern life- let go No more dependence No more 9 to 5 For the first time we'd know What it means to be alive (chorus) As we sing… La da da da da da da La da da da da da da-a La da da da da da da La da da da Here's to leaving the city Looking up at the sky As we remember Here's to shining this bright in our halcyon nights The stars would never Away from the concrete Away from these fences Away from a culture Of too many expenses Here's to leaving the city Looking up at the sky For the first time we'd know What it means to be alive
