Lyrics We Were Never Built to Last - Electric President

We Were Never Built to Last

You’re on your own now.
We’re tired of lending hands
Our new agenda: it cuts you from all our plans
So get in line, boy.
And keep that mouth of yours closed
Don’t need opinions.
Just work them hands to bones
We stood in place and watched them tear us apart
They cut us open and ripped out all our parts
But we kept quiet.
We let them have their way
We made our point by having nothing to say
We all broke up right on cue
We’ll take you down with us too
You’d better jump ship.
This bastard is sinking fast
There’s nothing to save here.
Our worth has all but passed
The muddy waters are slipping in through the cracks
The ship is sinking
We sit on our hands and watch it all fall
No one blinks an eye
There’s not much worth saving
Just lots of buildings and concrete colored skies
But then you came and picked us up
You combed our hair, and made us look like people
And we learned to feed ourselves again
We built some homes and filled them full of clones
But we won’t wait until you get back.
We’ll be gone long before you arrive
We were never built to last.
But we’d like to tell you:
Thanks for the good time.
It was nice to have known you
We’ll all be just fine, and we’ll try to write you
We appreciate the lies, but we’re done believing you
