The bands I like, they don't sell too many records
|
And the girls I like, they don't kiss too many boys
|
Books I read will never be best sellers, yeah
|
But come on fellas at least we made our choice, hey!
|
|
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
|
|
What do we want?
|
And when do we want it?
|
And how would we feel if we knew that we were never gunna get it?
|
And where did we start from?
|
And where are we going?
|
Can anyone here say with any certainty that they know what they're doing?
|
|
Ever feel like an awkward understudy thrown into a cast where you just don't get along?
|
Crowd and the crew all standing silent staring and you can't shake the feeling that somehow you're doing it wrong
|
|
What do we want?
|
|
Mum and dad always seem like that had a plan
|
Everything fell apart when mum moved on, now dad's a broken man
|
And all these decisions that keep getting made
|
I can't remember making them and nobody wants to explain
|
|
We're all awkward understudies wearing comfortable shoes getting comfortable with doing it wrong
|
Missed the dress rehearsals and we had to rush a drink before the show but now it's show time and we're singing our song!
|
|
Because the bands I like, they don't sell too many records
|
And the girls I like, they don't kiss too many boys
|
Books I read will never be best sellers, yeah
|
But come on fellas at least we made our choice
|
|
The bands I like, they don't sell too many records
|
And the girls I like, they don't kiss too many boys
|
Books I read will never be best sellers, yeah
|
But come on fellas at least we made our choice
|
|
Be a fan of every band that made you want to move your feet
|
Fall along with every person who ever made your heart want to skip a beat
|
So come on, come on, come on!
|
What do we want?
|
We shall not overcome!
|
We shall not go well!
|
Hey, hey!
|
|
Because the lives we lead, they will be so very perfect
|
And the plans we make made us serve some kind of purpose
|
But the hearts we meet still beat the way they used to
|
If you're doing it wrong, well yeah what you gunna do?
|
|
What do we want?
|

We Shall Not Overcome
