lyrics

Well, you told me in confidence, like it were a conspiracy
That the clock has got you chained down
But you stay up late anyway; defiantly standing your ground
And you examine your coffee - you use it like a shield:
To protect you from the violent blows that come with over-exhaustion
That come with a job you despise. That come with an alarm, like a bad friend
Who, when you need him the most, is never on your side

And we sit around thinking: “With all these years,
With all these protest songs, there's got to be a better way”
But at least we're working for something,
At least some inspiration we scribble on the page
Before our imagination runs dry like the ink in these ballpoint pens
Yeah, and we try to find a metaphor or just write it straight like it is
We just need a fucking outlet; we can't keep it pent up like this
No, we can't keep it pent up like this, because

Sometimes, we get so caught up in the world we can't find our way out of this dirge
Surrounded by gray clouds, we're letting monotony take us down.
But we've just got to try our best to shine bright: Enough to lead us home again
And we can sing out loud, Like drunken sailors shouting proud
We've always got our sea-legs And we're not gonna fall down

And sometimes our diplomas feel like just decoration on some white wall,
And if you don’t got one they say you’re useless.
But don't ever listen to that. No, don't ever fucking listen to that.

Because if you find love for these little things in your life
You're beating most it seems they just work themselves to death
To buy pretty toys they can stuff in their casket
But we've just got to try our best To shine bright: enough to lead us home again
And we can sing out loud, Like drunken sailors shouting proud
We've always got our sea legs , And we’re not gonna fall down
And even if we never find solid ground We’ve got our sea legs
And we’re never, ever, ever gonna fall down
