You, you try, you try to get by.
"You're never going to pull it off", "You shouldn't even try"
"You're a wet cigarette", "You're always second best",
but they're never going to give a shit about anybody but themselves.
so you fight for them to realize;
there's more to life, there's more to you, there's more than meets the eye.
And when you're done, the battle's been won.
You sit back, you smile and this is what you hum, you hum:

Na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
When as you close your eyes for the big sleep
I hope you think of me, yeah
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
He wakes up sad again and he wonders when the rain will end,
She acts like she dont care cause to her its just a game, that he plays,
Im a super, Im a nothing, Im a no one, goin nowhere fast,
But I dont care, but I dont care,
Im a super, Im a nothing, Im a no one, goin nowhere fast,
But I dont care, but I dont care.
The years go by, the time it does fly.
Every single second is a moment in time that
passes oh, so quick and it seems like nothing,
but when you're looking back, well it amounts to everything.
I've got myself. I've got my friends.
I've got my little family, but that's not where it ends.
This one goes out to you, it goes out to everyone.
It's in the name of honesty because life has just begun.
Started with six or seven, moved on to eight or nine. What will you do when they come
you?
Nobody seemed to notice, nobody seemed to mind. What will you do when they come for you?
Little miss demissed can't miss like a detuned radio. I cannot believe you when you tell
what you know
And nothing will be broken if your house is made of stone. But you will know as I do it
never be a home
We want it, they got it. They claim we'll die without it
But something tells me they are wrong
So what will you do when they call your name and you're not ready to go?
Everyone will stare at you and tell you what you know
That you're in too deep and you can't quite keep your secrets, one and all
We might just make it after all, on our own
We might just make it after all
But we had one foot on the gas and one foot in the grave
Everyone was laughing when we said we had it made
Everyone was laughing when we said we had it made
All the times he said he would she never really understood,
What he said, or what he meant, he won't forget what wasn't said,
Hell find himself alone standing in the rain, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Im a super all or nothin, Im a no one, going nowhere fast,
But I dont care,
Im a super all or nothin, Im a no one, going nowhere fast,
But I dont care, but I dont care.
Maybe the times we had, they weren't that bad
And everything else was part of the plan
We sang: "I don't know where we go from here"
This is the alpha, omega, beginning and the end
And we all just idolize the dead
So you were born (So you were born), and that was a good day
Someday you'll die (Someday you'll die), and that is a shame
But somewhere in the between was a life of which we all dream
And nothing and no one will ever take that away
Me and Mr. Dylan on the ride home
We had a heart-to-heart about life
But neither him or me could decide for ourselves
If we wanted to outlive that night
Like two children on the playground of the unconfessed souls
Abandoned by our mothers and our lovers and our foes
If only we were brave enough to live the lives we stole
What a wonderful world this could be!
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
When as you close your eyes for the big sleep
I hope you think of me, yeah
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
So do the right thing or do nothing. What will you do when they come for you?
Or just do what is easier. What will you do when they come for you?
That's what I read what I swear they said to me. Nine times out of ten they lied to me
And after all they had the guts to say Son, no one will save you now
We want it, they got it. They claim we'll die without it
But something tells me they are wrong
So, how many more examples until we break?
So how many sacrifices must we make?
Because we've all been there once before
And it looks like we've returned once more
So is this the beginning or the end?
The last two soldiers on the battlefield
Survivors of the war
They aim at one another while their mothers beg the lord
"If you're listening, I'm missing him
So somehow bring him home.
How did it come to this?"
So the soldiers lift their rifles
And they're aiming at the head
They think of their first love before they take their final breath
And somewhere in the distance they hear something someone said:
"How did it come to this?"

When as you close your eyes for the big sleep
I hope you think of me, yeah.
Yeah, the times we had, they were not that bad
And everything else, that was part of the plan
And we sang, "I don't know where we go from here"
This is the Alpha (Alpha!), Omega (Omega!), beginning and the end!
And we all just idolize the dead
So you were born (So you were born), and that was a good day
Someday you'll die (Someday you'll die), and that is a shame
But somewhere in the between was a life of which we all dream
And nothing and no one will ever take that away
And someday soon my friends, this ride will come to an end
But we can't just get in line again.
