Wake up early, hustle up to breakfast Those were the grim days, taking our time High profile, private education Heathen insider in an outside town
A-students mingle with blue-collar workers They couldn't do it if they tried A stern line, certainly appealing But damaged agenda when it bores the crowd
A tough crusader, boy, he gets results, though I'm refined, I get to list them all So resilient, more fun than brilliant Sticking around until they kick you out
We find that all of our days are stacked up with the rest of them here The stewards of sport, they need a lesson from the pit bosses they used to jeer Though it unravels, oh, it unravels to the core of the character kids
Insofar as we're concerned, a knock-out punch is well deserved. Mirror images blur.
All fall in line and take what you earn, it all has a price Right where you tread, full speed ahead, with furious might Pardon my speech, we're waiting to leave, we're waiting to leave She said she's tired, well, we're all tired, kindly refrain I'll draw you a map, we'll get there today You're not too late, come inside, you're not too late Cheer up, it's your lucky day Cheer up, it's your lucky day
I know exactly what it means to tightrope She says she's here to stay, it's all talk talk talking Bitter observations, damn the doses, let it fizzle out
The drawback difference, listen to the cadence Stumble stumble forward Gunshot jokesters home from college, knavish in behavior Mind the manor for the glory hounds
Ready-made victors, law-abiding fighters Tremor tremor, I'm not saying it's fine It's just a job or a joint resolution Selling our house so we can leave this town
Around the world summer, funny how we wonder if its worth the risk of leaving tonight Curve ball crafts caught in the snag, working hard to put up a fight Shutterbug vets in the powder room making a mess, yeah, you're making a mess But Janie's in the back, cleaning up, making so much sense ("Bobby?")
All fall in line, take what you learn, it all has a price Right where you tread, we're full speed ahead, with furious might Well, pardon my speech, we're waiting to leave, we're waiting to leave Changing the tide, it's just what we're told, now go get it right Bargain a plea, a throwback it seems, now quiet comply
