We are not the first to be We won't be the last We're looking to the future Banking on the past It's still the middle-ages here We are immature Somewhere between bitten nails And our first manicure We are not the first to be They'll be something next We're actors trying to improvise While sticking to the text But we are not beyond despair And it is my belief That only art can break But that love will bring relief Onward, onward, we must go to the ends of the earth Just to plant another flag that says "We are not the first" We are not the first to be We are not alone We're treading in their footprints In a land we thought unknown From the sea, we found the land Built a boat and sailed Some of us had second thoughts And turned back into whales Deeper, deeper, we must go on a sea that is cursed We never think ahead, we are not the first We are not the first to be We are not the world We're a just a holy singles club Of lonely boys and girls Who come together once awhile To compare notes and converse And trade our baby carriage in For a handsome little hearse Downward, downward we must go beyond the final verse We won't be the last because we were not the first
