lyrics

We’re all twenty-two
We haven’t got a clue
And one day we will die
What’s more important is the meantime
We're working dead-end jobs
And hating what we’re not
So what’s the point in this?
I still think that ignorance is bliss

There’s another day there’s another way
To get around that wall
There’s another day there’s another way
It’s still gonna hurt when you fall
And what comes next we can only guess
Cos life is one big mess

We’re all seventeen
There's nothing we haven’t seen
We think that we’ve done it all
But we’re getting lined up for a fall
And no job's needed yet
And six weeks of summer’s spent
We’re not really doing much
I’ve got some friends that keep in touch

There’s another day there’s another way
To get around that wall
There’s another day there’s another way
It’s still gonna hurt when you fall
And what comes next we can only guess
Cos life is one big mess

There’s another day there’s another way
To get around that wall
There’s another day there’s another way
It’s still gonna hurt when you fall
And what comes next we can only guess
Cos life is one big mess
