We're just the new ones we'll figure it out
The tutors are busy today
The adults are active
They're acting the last generation
It's passed on that way
With blood on their faces and laces untied
They can't make their way past the park
In capital places, with aces of hearts
They'll stumble down streets in the dark
Instrumental
We're just the new ones we'll figure it out
The tutors are busy today
The adults are active
They're acting the last generation
It's passed on that way
I saw the ash, but it doesn't mean much
If the memory is given to lie
Oh the day that he went, was his calendar full
As the focus fell out of his eye
Having all the paraphernalia
Being so careful and strong
Doesn't make him an expert on failure
Doesn't mean he can tell you you're wrong
Having all the paraphernalia
Being so careful and strong
Doesn't make him an expert on failure
Doesn't mean he can tell you you're wrong
Oh, are you comfortable now sitting down?
Oh, have you planted those heels in the ground?
Oh, are you comfortable now sitting down
Sitting down, sitting down?
Oh, have you planted those heels in the ground
In the ground, in the ground?
Instrumental
To take on the day you just rub sleep away
Like you did when we first turned 18
But the promise of schooling
Of rising and ruling
Your eyes saw beyond the canteen
My clothes haven't grown and so neither have I
This is the age I was born
The glass takes the sun off the journey's we've done
Unhappy not battered or torn
Having all the paraphernalia
Being so careful and strong
Doesn't make him an expert on failure
Doesn't mean he can tell you you're wrong
Having all the paraphernalia
Being so careful and strong
Doesn't make him an expert on failure
Doesn't mean he can tell you you're wrong
Oh, are you comfortable now sitting down?
Oh, have you planted those heels in the ground?
Oh, are you comfortable now sitting down
Sitting down, sitting down?
Oh, have you planted those heels in the ground
In the ground, in the ground?
