| 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 |
