The Rat Race 03:17
I lost all my motivation for pursuing education And in a fit of desperation got stuck in here If I don’t focus my attention to correct my situation Then I’ll still have no direction in 10 more years And I can’t seem to make it happen Because I’m too easily distracted Sometimes I find I’m dreaming Of a life thats less demeaning Where there’s more to life than cleaning And stacking shelves I just want something to believe in A cause, a life, a meaning ‘Cause I’m rinsing and repeating And can’t move on Earn some money to survive Become a nameless nine to five

Adieu to my England Farewell to all that made it mine Adieu to my freedoms So you can wear your veil with false pride Adieu to all we used to stand for Adieu to never taking sides Adieu to anyone who tells you They disagree with what you had in mind But I promise I will never try to abandon you My red, white and blue I will never say... Adieu to my England I’m surprised you’d take the time to say goodbye To say adieu to my England You don’t appreciate its kind words Adieu to all our common sense Adieu to opening our eyes And adieu to anyone who tell you They don’t think that what you did was right

Lego, Brio, Etch-a-sketch Mighty Max and Train sets Magna-doodle, Stickle bricks Marbles, Pogs and Airfix Jenga, Cindy, Hula-Hoops Tamagotchi, Rubix cubes Game Boys, Trolls and Play Doh Scalextrics and Kaleidoscopes Fuzzy Felt, Mechano, Yo-yo Action man, Jigsaws, Magic sand We used to be your best friends Lay strewn across you floor Now we’re in your attic And never in your thoughts You’ve put away your play things And put on your striped tie Now we’re in your memory And never by your side We guarded you from monsters And slept inside your bed We are, we are your retro rejects We are, we are your retro rejects We are, we are discarded play sets

Why? 03:42
It’s always something with you isn’t it? One thing after another Sister against brother And then you change your mind Why can’t you decide? It’s alway something with you isn’t it? One day you’re the devil The next day you’re a saint And then you change your mind And you drag us all behind you You see just because you say it Doesn’t make it true All you’re doing is repeating what they’ve said to you Just because you feel it doesn’t mean we feel it too And why should we have to? And now it’s something else isn’t it? One thing led to another Now you’re waiting for the cover of darkness You can’t change your mind No, not this time You see just because you said it Didn’t make it true All you were doing was repeating What they’d said to you Just because you felt it didn’t mean we felt it too And why should we have to? Can you see now why we tried so hard To talk to you But nothing that we said could ever make it through They told you what to do and then you followed suit But why should you have to? Why should you have to? Why did you?

You 04:07
Taking every word you’ve ever said Taking every sound you’ve made so beautiful Your words are so profound And on my lips they do not sound the same How can I compete or make something so complete? Like you do. Like you do. In your shadow I find myself Looking for the spotlight Everything you’ve done I hope to do Everywhere you’ve been I’ve followed you How can I compete or make something so complete? Like you do. Like you do.
