lyrics

Like always, I’ll fall asleep on the floor
There’s no space for me anymore
But I know that glory moves slow and the future is going to be great
Remember, we had plans, they just didn’t unfold
We were going to take over the world
And I know there’s not much to show, but the hand we’ve been dealt will be great

Man up, the time is drawing near for you to stand up
And if you don’t you’re only going to land up regretting everything you never did

I don’t understand what you’re saying to me
You might as well be speaking in Greek
All I hear is the sound of the years washing away down the drain
So let’s wing it. Let’s not waste our time making plans
When we know that we’ll always land on our feet and the future is going to be grand

Man up, the time is drawing near for you to stand up
And if you don’t you’re only going to land up regretting everything you never did
But be careful, the things that you believe in all resemble a system that could not be classed as normal
And the future as we know it will be great

We shake our heads when we realise
While we’re awake, we live a lie
We must admit when we’ve done wrong
We’ve been the problem all along
Let’s crawl out of our hiding place and face the things we’re scared to face

The thing about the future is in order to move on you need to focus on the future not the weight you drag along
And while the world may beat you down just keep your head up and stay strong
I know the future will be great
