|
I saw the best minds of my generation |
|
Passed out in their prime |
|
Cuz we were waiting for a suitable time for waking up |
|
I must have looked in your eyes |
|
About two thousand times |
|
But I never saw a sign |
|
No nothing to say, this was a time for giving up |
|
And if somehow you still believe in love try not to let it hurt so bad |
|
Don't you know that you always |
|
Had everything that you need |
|
If there's something in the stars above the sights |
|
Our sentiments, and masses of gasses |
|
I would swear, it still wouldn't have drawn itself to me |
|
But why should it? |
|
I had a dream about parking lots, |
|
And shopping malls, and lines |
|
The only words anyone could muster |
|
Were just lies, and lies, and lies, |
|
And am I ashamed, am I ashamed |
|
To engage in these infantile notions of pain |
|
When we wake up it's always the same |
|
Though I hope everything is okay |
|
I took a walk in your shoes |
|
You know that I got the blues |
|
Thinking bout how there's this wall |
|
They made climbers of us all |
|
Till we eventually fall and |
|
So you talk about your ideals |
|
Like they're not how you feel |
|
Like they're a dream you hold inside |
|
An old plan left unrealized until the day that it died |
|
Well if you're waiting on the world to change |
|
Don't waste you precious heart |
|
Oh, I know that you are too |
|
Smart to think that it will |
|
That sure is one way to live |
|
But one day something has got to live |
|
And if you're not ready |
|
Well you're sure to fancy yourself, oh so still |
|
So don't try so hard |
|
For things that haven't come yet |
|
Don't live your life like it's already gone |
|
Don't listen to the closed set |
|
It's nobody, just trying to make them self feel better with a song |
