Songtext von Better Off As we Are

We sat around at night and talked about so many things lay on the floor till the morning appeared you laughed at me and said I just don't get it you said we should be making plans for getting out of here Somebody told me when I was just a little kid don't follow leaders just think for yourself but everybody minds everybody else's business here why can't they turn their eyes to somebody else Tell me no use thinking we could ever be something we could rise with the stars better off as we are My older brother he left the day he finished school moved down to New York to Washington Square he calls me up and says you should come and see me watch the waves of people rolling everywhere Tell me no use thinking we could ever be something we could rise with the stars better off as we are Late in the evening I'm up in my room trying to think of nothing clear away the day I lie awake and let my body wander up into the moonlight floating away Tell me no use thinking we could ever be something we could rise with the stars better off as we are
