lyrics

If we get interviewed in 30 years
About what was happening here
What will you tell 'em dear friend,
And can we pretend it all already happened,
We made it, and it all turned out swell?

I think we might as well
'Cause we got lots of hours to fill
So why not kill 'em softly
Singing tales of the world we imagine,
And in doing so, make it real?

Just throwing it out there
We could do something, make a mark
Tell me, are you prepared
To step into the light and out of the dark?

Tell me, are you prepared
To lose your favorite punching bag,
To really put yourself out there,
Take a blind leap and not look back?

Deliberately isolated
Croaking out your desperate cumbaya
You're the only obstacle
Between yourself and everything you want
Everything you want
Everything you want
Everything you want

Did we believe the hype, the old cliche
That good art only flowers from pain,
That our music can't age with us,
That we have to play these characters forever?
Are we really that insane?

Come on dude, us your brain
Life before art, never the other way, I say
They've been locked in a cold war for so long
I think it's time we dropped the bomb
And let the chips fall where they may

Just throwing it out there
We could do something, make a mark
Tell me, are you prepared
To step into the light and out of the dark?

Tell me, are you prepared
To lose your favorite punching bag,
To really put yourself out there,
Take a blind leap and not look back?

Deliberately isolated
Still croaking out my desperate cumbaya
Am I the only obsstacle
Between myself and everything I want?
Everything I want
Everything I want
Everything I want

Everything we want
Everything we want
Everything we want
Everything we want

If we get interviewed in 30 years
About what was happening here
What will you tell 'em dear friend,
And can we pretend it all already happened,?
