We're takin' over
We're takin' over
We're takin' over
We're takin' over
Sharing in the thing we lost
It's been shattered like our fists as they punch through walls
Teenage angst has paid off well
For the bored and old and to their kids fuck you oh well
We never guessed that how we ended up would be the norm
Who would've guessed that everyone had this problem
If I'd've thought that we could fix this together
I'd've screamed so much louder so much louder so much louder
This is not what I had planned
This is sacrifice at our parents' hands
This is the end of an era
Would anyone really care if it was the last?
We're takin' over
We're takin' over
We're takin' over
We're takin' over
Sharing in the loss of hope
Shared envy of the ones who never cared to know
Products of the way we're raised
Stuck with the consequences of turning out okay
Rule of twenty-seven divides by the rule of three
Nine times in eleven we're so shocked by the outcome
If I'd've thought that the world would ever change
I'd've screamed so much louder so much louder so much louder
This is not what I had planned
This is sacrifice at our parents' hands
This is the end of an era
Would anyone really care if it was the last?
We trade frayed ends on scabbed over knees
For one last chance at last year's dream
We're already dead and this is our afterlife
We're takin' over
We're takin' over
We're takin' over
Oh god help us we're takin' over
It's haunting, dark, moody prog rock that alternately makes you want to plan the demise of the human race, bust out the whiskey and party, and go kick someone's ass. Also Mystakin is a great guitarist Single White Infidel
