It's not where you come from
|
It's more where you're going
|
And knowing the going might get strange
|
The world's greatest writers
|
Are all drunks and fighters
|
Get going, that isn't going to change
|
|
Will you still wager on the egg?
|
Is it the egg or are you chicken?
|
There's an outside possibility
|
Your life might start to kick in
|
Your heart will start to race
|
Will you chase or set the pace?
|
Brace yourself
|
The plot's about to thicken
|
|
It's not where you come from
|
It's more where you're going
|
And knowing the going might get strange
|
The world's greatest writers
|
Are all drunks and fighters
|
Get going, that isn't going to change
|
|
It's been a thousand years or two
|
And still the seconds keep on clicking
|
Clogging cogs and greasing gears
|
Still you can't stop the clock from ticking
|
It's time that's overrated
|
And being great's become outdated
|
The apples, oranges?
|
Not worth picking
|
|
It's not where you come from
|
It's more where you're going
|
And knowing the going might get strange
|
The world's greatest writers
|
Are all drunks and fighters
|
Get going, that isn't going to change
|
|
Where is it we're going?
|
Who was it who said it?
|
Which stones are worth throwing?
|
Who will we discredit?
|
A pathetic aesthetic
|
In a world less poetic
|
It's not where you come from
|
It's going, go get it
|
