The network is down, the problem can't be found
Don't let me find you hangin' around here
To me it's all clear, you're lettin' another steer
Your life in the wrong direction
You need some social protection, cause my recollection
I was on a similar path following the footprints
You know they've been there for years,
I want it here, this much is clear
So raise your glass and I'll drink to you
And they will find themselves when the drinking's through
If the man shows his face before your feet hit the floor
Turn to the left and make for the back door
Right into the night you know we hit the streets runnin'
Ain't behind you yet, but you know that it's comin' now
Don't slow down those stars they fade from red to green
And the lights all change
Well take a deep breathe and count to ten
Pull yourself together we're gonna do it again
They can't turn us down, we'll fight our way in
Place your bets and make your bids
"A day in the life", some might say
Man, we're just tryin' to get a taste
But why we gotta hide behind this face
Because without it we'd never be accepted in this place
Place your bets and I'll think of you
Maybe we'll find ourselves when the drinking's through
The man shows his face before your feet hit the floor
Turn to the left and make for the back door
Right into the night you know we hit the streets runnin'
Ain't behind you yet, cause you know that it's comin' now
Don't slow down those stars they fade from red to green
And the lights all change
Oh, oh woah
I said I won't slow down until the stars they fade
(Raise your glass and I'll drink to you)
Runnin' these streets where lives are made
Now close your eyes, we'll call good days
(Maybe we'll find ourselves when the drinking's through)
From red to green, the lights all change
How you gonna tell me I'm not the age
(Raise your glass and I'll drink to you)
Put a gun in my hand and take my drink away, take my drink away
(Maybe we'll find ourselves when the drinking's through)
I said I won't slow down until the stars they fade
(Raise your glass and I'll drink to you)
Runnin' these streets where lives are made
Now close your eyes, we'll call good days
(Maybe we'll find ourselves when the drinking's through)
From red to green, the lights all change
How you gonna tell me I'm not the age
(Raise your glass and I'll drink to you)
Hold a gun in my hand and take my drink away, take my drink away
(Maybe we'll find ourselves when the drinking's through)
