We got caught believing
We were tired of leaving our futures up to fate
Well then again I guess that we can’t be certain
Oh, we were certainly having a goodtime
You started humming about the stupid institution
We don’t read fine print because we don’t believe in it.
Oh we were trying to connect ourselves to something
And there were trains that fell of track
And there were kids getting high in the back of some public place.
I want to move to Chicago
Oh I want to move to some Midwestern city where we can freeze
But you had this thing about Costa Rica
And I’m too lazy to get a passport baby.
There was a statute of limitations
We don’t read fine print because we don’t believe in it.
Oh we were trying to connect ourselves to something
And your parents sit first class
And all those kids were getting high in the back of some public place
You started crying at the anthem of a generation
That you never even got the chance to meet
We were trying to connect ourselves to something
We’ll take some courage for some cash
And let the kids get high in the back of some public place
