Stiffened hair and a face that's not my own
Just another drone talking on the phone
I see you sitting there, you look right back at me
With that same old "let's get out of here" plea
"Hey, shall we try not to act today?"
You crack a smile and shout, "Yeah, let's just run away!"
The kids out there, they think they're wild and free
But they've got nothing on the likes of you and me
Remember when our dreams were bulletproof and loud?
Lost somewhere along the way inside this crowd
We traded battle scars for meetings on a screen
The tamest, saddest story ever seen
"Hey, shall we try not to act today?"
You crack a smile and shout, "Yeah, let's just run away!"
The kids out there, they think they're wild and free
But they've got nothing on the likes of you and me
Hey friend, we haven't changed, not in a single way
So what the hell's this number "thirty" anyway?
You funny bastard... We're still the same damn fools
So let's go break the rules
"Hey, shall we try not to act today?"
We're laughing as we're shouting, "Yeah, let's just run away!"
The kids out there, they think they're wild and free
But they've got nothing on the likes of you and me
