The Upwards War And The Down Turned Cycle

All my friends always talk about
The stories of moving on and getting out
They're packing up and heading south
Their heads full of hopes and dreams, they're just like meMy friends aren't going anywhere
My friends all act so unaware
Now that they have to face
Their best plans have all gone up in flamesThey're just looking for something to take
To break up the day to day and all it's
Loneliness, vacant space
The tragedy of minimum wageAll my friends always talk about
The stories of moving on and getting out
They're packing up and heading south
Their heads full of hopes and dreams, they're just like me, just like meMy friends are worried about last calls
And working jobs at shopping malls
Because they're in between
A mixed up pride and apathySo tonight they'll talk of calling in
Calling in with bitter grins
Laughing at the state they're in
What a mess, I'm just like themAll my friends always talk about
The stories of moving on and getting out
They're packing up and heading south
Their heads full of hopes and dreams, they're just like meAll my friends always talk about
The stories of moving on and getting out

Their heads full of hopes and dreamsSo they're sleep walking their way through life
Sitting there and getting by
Like all the other friends of mine
Wishing for something more, wishing for something moreAll my friends always talk about
The stories of moving on and getting out
They're packing up and heading south
Their heads full of hopes and dreams, they're just like meAll my friends always talk about
