| Maybe I heard them wrong
|
| I never knew what they were
|
| I was singing a different song
|
| This could be just what we need right now
|
| Tell me how it feels to be
|
| The living end of your time
|
| The stupid things that they say
|
| About what he’s supposed to be
|
| This kid believes what he reads
|
| And he’s taking 'em seriously
|
| This could be just what we’re looking for
|
| Tell me more about how you became
|
| The living end of your time
|
| And when you look into the bathroom mirror
|
| Can you see an entire generation
|
| Crying through those eyes?
|
| A certain kind of despair
|
| Pompous and terrified
|
| This fish jumped out of the bowl
|
| Flopped around for a while and died
|
| This could mean anything we want it to
|
| I wish I knew just how I might become
|
| The living end of my time
|
| They seemed like innocent words
|
| Maybe I heard them wrong
|
| I never knew what they were
|
| I was singing a different song
|
| This could be just what we’re looking for |
