|
It's not where you come from |
|
It's more where you're going |
|
And knowing the going might get strange |
|
The world's greatest writers |
|
Are all drunks and fighters |
|
Get going, that isn't going to change |
|
Will you still wager on the egg? |
|
Is it the egg or are you chicken? |
|
There's an outside possibility |
|
Your life might start to kick in |
|
Your heart will start to race |
|
Will you chase or set the pace? |
|
Brace yourself |
|
The plot's about to thicken |
|
It's not where you come from |
|
It's more where you're going |
|
And knowing the going might get strange |
|
The world's greatest writers |
|
Are all drunks and fighters |
|
Get going, that isn't going to change |
|
It's been a thousand years or two |
|
And still the seconds keep on clicking |
|
Clogging cogs and greasing gears |
|
Still you can't stop the clock from ticking |
|
It's time that's overrated |
|
And being great's become outdated |
|
The apples, oranges? |
|
Not worth picking |
|
It's not where you come from |
|
It's more where you're going |
|
And knowing the going might get strange |
|
The world's greatest writers |
|
Are all drunks and fighters |
|
Get going, that isn't going to change |
|
Where is it we're going? |
|
Who was it who said it? |
|
Which stones are worth throwing? |
|
Who will we discredit? |
|
A pathetic aesthetic |
|
In a world less poetic |
|
It's not where you come from |
|
It's going, go get it |
