lyrics

here we go!

do you remember a time, yeah a time we had a place to go
to escape for a short time from the lies and false people?
but lately it seems those lies are right among us, and it makes me sad
they turned this thing i loved into another social fad…

no, it’s not the same
just look around, see, it’s not the same
they wanna try, yeah they wanna play their games
make another one fall, no, it’s not the same…

But it goes to show, that all good things have an end.
But still there is no reason i can comprehend
why they gotta stick to us like social parasites
what’s gonna be left when they’re gone, when they’re done, i guess we’ll find (out) when…

Everything is said and done, and everybody’s had their fun
they’ll go and find another one, i hope they turn tail and run
but they could never justify, they could never just define
why they gotta be that way? why don’t they just go away?

…why don’t they just go away?

what’s gonna be left, but a dead and stagnant scar?
a shadow of what we knew, a distance from afar
‘yeah, it’s too bad’, we’ll say, ‘it used to give us truth’
but now we’ve got nothing left, so what are we supposed to do?

no, it’s not the same
just look around, see, it’s not the same
they got to try, yeah they got to play their games
made another one fall, no, it’s not the same…
