Mama told you everything around is unsafe
And papa told you all you're gonna be is a waste
Teachers taught you everything is under control
And where it got you boy you know you'll never know
Cause it's all endgame, blood all the same
Gazing out through empty windows
Pack your suitcase, no returning home
Your lovers left you, washed away by the rain
Sayin' nothing, only it was time for a change
Sitting, stranded, starin' up at the sky
Little wonder how life has passed you by
If mama told you yes you're gonna be a star
And papa told you son I know that you'll go far
And people heard the music from miles around
It'd still mean nothing, only make a different sound
And papa told you all you're gonna be is a waste
Teachers taught you everything is under control
And where it got you boy you know you'll never know
Cause it's all endgame, blood all the same
Gazing out through empty windows
Pack your suitcase, no returning home
Your lovers left you, washed away by the rain
Sayin' nothing, only it was time for a change
Sitting, stranded, starin' up at the sky
Little wonder how life has passed you by
If mama told you yes you're gonna be a star
And papa told you son I know that you'll go far
And people heard the music from miles around
It'd still mean nothing, only make a different sound
