Sideways

(album: We May Grow Old But We Never Grow Up - 2022)

All your wildest dreams will never come true
You're only gonna be what people say
When you find that place that you can run to
You're happy even standing in the rain
Even when they cut us from the sunlight
I won't be the one to lose my face
When you find that place that you can run to
You can love the fall from grace

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know what I want
I don't, I don't need no one to tell me when to stop
Ayy

They say come out and play
Run us to the limit till it's all gone sideways
They take everything away
Look at how we're living in this mad world these days
I don't like the system now we need to run away
Brothers or my sisters, yeah, they lead them lost astray
They say come out and play
Run us to the limit till it's all gone sideways

All the while you're sleeping with the wrong crew
Ticking boxes in the database
Lying through your teeth and never one truth
Never leave a goddamn trace

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know what I want
I don't, I don't need no one to tell me when to stop
Ayy

They say come out and play
Run us to the limit till it's all gone sideways
They take everything away
Look at how we're living in this mad world these days
I don't like the system now we need to run away
Brothers or my sisters, yeah, they lead them lost astray
They say come out and play
Run us to the limit till it's all gone sideways

I for one and one lasting reason tell my kids the stakes
Break the rules and go smash some records, make 'em learn your name
Even when they say you can't, you know you Genghis Khan
Break some hearts, but spread the love and be big in Japan
Fuck the beef, slow cook the brisket
Take some risks, embrace the misfit
Rock 'n' roll, don't limp your biscuit
Look, go change the way you pissed it
Even if the leader of your generation messed up
Run the world, down your drink, smile a bit, then rest up

They say come out and play
Run us to the limit till it's all gone sideways
They take everything away
Look at how we're living in this mad world these days
I don't like the system now we need to run away
Brothers or my sisters, yeah, they lead them lost astray
They say come out and play
Run us to the limit till it's all gone sideways

It's all gone sideways
