Here is the reason, your life ain’t that bad
I got your genius, stuck next to me in this queue
I read your warnings, nobody goes back
Nostalgia’s perfect, this future’s jet black
I see a twinkle in your eye, start a new venture
You think you got a plan? We won’t make it out of here
I love your optimism, but I can’t join you
You’ll work your fingers to the bone with no clue.
And Whatever you wanna do
Whatever you wanna say
Wherever you wanna be, lets go.
Empty that skyscraper, of all the rubbish
I found a blank cheque, what shall we bet on
Round behind in the alleyway, your hopeless hat-tricks
I’ll be the victim of all your bad habits
And Whatever you wanna do
Whatever you wanna say
Wherever you wanna be, lets go.
