Mutual destruction is assured
An easy life's just not worth living, so bored
Honey, make sure you say your prayers
You never know, they just might save your tears
You see her, she's got it all,
Looks, a big wage
And what have you got?
We paid the price for wanting something more,
Something with soul,
Now what have we got?
We're losing touch with philosophy
For crass culture and status updates
And all the things we spoke about
You said "It's just talk", it meant a lot to me

Riots in my city
I don't care, I still want to love here
They tore down the trees
I don't care, I still want to...
Grow out of this desert earth
If the needle comes to rest here, might I find
My true centre
My friends all worship "No"
But that won't stop me believing
And if you think I'll be leaving
Then you'd better watch me...
Grow out of this desert earth
If the needle comes to rest here, might I find
My true centre
I don't even know this place
There's always one more corner
So I just close my eyes

I could have been anything else, and
I could have gone anywhere else, but
I don't want to change
Summer used to taste of sweetest gold, but
Now it only tastes of growing old, and
I can't see myself from here
I don't wanna go, don't wanna change
I just wanna stay the same always
I don't wanna go, don't wanna change
I just wanna stay the same as this
I don't wanna go, I just wanna stay this way,
Always
Throwing punches in the back of my car
I'm surprised we even made it this far
'Cos you want me to change
All I know about is rock and roll, but
That doesn't fit the modern goal
To make the same mistakes again

The Upstarts

We had a childish lack of respect
And disdained to believe in anything
But love gave us structured lives
And we knew what it was we wanted from them, oh yes
An ending, something to work towards
The problem was, we didn't know where to start
Concerned by a lack of humanity
I wrote you a letter to save my own
"Take my dreams and keep them safe", I said
And you knew what it was I meant, oh yes
An ending, something to work towards
The problem was, we didn't know where to start
We are the upstarts
And we know we're entirely worthless
We'll never take heart
It all turns to dust in the end
