| There’s something burnin' in me, I gotta let it all out
|
| No, I don’t wanna be the good boy scout no more
|
| Because today I adore «now what now what»
|
| Something different from what I’ve been taught before because
|
| I know what you’re like, I know what you’ll say
|
| So now I wanna go and walk a different way
|
| You always told me to scrutinize, watch for lies
|
| There’s other people I have to see with my old eyes these years
|
| With your hands over me, warm, shelter, emotionally steady
|
| So now I’m ready to choose my side
|
| A side that’s slightly different from yours, of course
|
| Of course it’s something no one in this family adores because
|
| The penny won’t do but it’s not the same
|
| When you offer your throne and give them everything
|
| I see them turning to me, I’m gonna give 'em a shout
|
| You see that shimmer and you know what it’s about once more
|
| because today they adore «now what now what»
|
| something different from what they’ve been taught before because
|
| They don’t know what you’re like, they don’t know what you’ll say
|
| But they’ll place confidence in you and walk your way
|
| Me, too, I tell them to scrutinize, watch for lives
|
| Hope they’ll find people with that shimmer in their eyes like I did
|
| I hope they won’t quit
|
| As from all that I’ve been taught I’m in next to be the one who’s fought
|
| And as I turned my back on you it’s their turn that will place me To the other side of this emotional fight
|
| The penny won’t do but it’s not the same
|
| When you offer your throne and give them everything
|
| And I turn, too
|
| And I turn to you
|
| The penny won’t do but it’s not the same
|
| When you offer your throne and give them everything |
