I was sitting there in silence waiting for the pain to come I was holding onto nothing, a soldier holding on to a gun Not a day goes by I don't question why, we let it all burn up in the sun Just a couple of kids lost in the mist, of trying to please everyone But you can't please everyone, we were a Hail Mary from a back row seat Top of your lungs til your throat bleeds It was ten years of nothing but gritting your teeth And turning tires right down to the bones We were old prized fighters thrown back in the ring Back against the ropes only punching at the good things Another pot of nothing at the end of the rainbow If the papers ask it was all for rock n roll I was medicated out of my mind I was up so high you'd think I could fly There wasn't a damn thing I could get right I was an echo in a canyon, with no one singing back yet A kind of broken hallelujah, unexplained and bittersweet Right where I needed to be We were a Hail Mary from a back row seat Top of your lungs til your throat bleeds It was ten years of nothing but gritting your teeth And turning tires right down to the bones We were old prized fighters thrown back in the ring Back against the ropes only punching at the good things Another pot of nothing at the end of the rainbow If the papers ask it was all for rock n roll With our fingers in our ears We'll be young for a thousand years When the lights go out and it all burns down We'll be standing bold and proud Right where we needed to be You can't please everyone We were a Hail Mary from a back row seat Top of your lungs til your throat bleeds It was ten years of nothing but gritting your teeth And turning tires right down to the bones We were old prized fighters thrown back in the ring Back against the ropes only punching at the good things Another pot of nothing at the end of the rainbow If the papers ask it was all for rock n roll
