Call To Arms Lyrics - Singles - Down By Law

Rejoice in your naivety boy 'cause it's all gone for me 

I know we lived on stupid dreams, it was all we had you see 

But when the balance totters there's no time for starry eyes 

Clear your thoughts to earn the good life and then I'll call you wise 

Now in the end I predict that you'll be just like me 

'Cause only the foolish or the blind don't want a new TV 

And you won't want to haunt the thrift stores when you're old and gray 

You'd better earn a packet now for all those lonely days 

I see the fire in your eyes and I wish you all the best 

But if you want to stay in my world, put all of that to rest 

There it is, I've said it, now the rest is up to you 

Things were great when we were young, now march with me, it's through 

If you could only see things my way then you'd know I'm right 

I believe you can hold on and live life in ways you choose 

Confusion and my desperation are far too dear to lose 

If all of this meant nothing then you've wasted all that time 

But I can't untattoo my life and that's the bottom line 

I'm not stupid and I know that everyone plays the game 

But how far you go on prefab terms is where we're not the same 

Don't want to live my life today for when I'm 65 

If we all make it that far, dear god, I'll be surprised 

Anyway the point is this I too wish you the best 

But when I walk down city streets I don't feel like the rest 

Don't worry, I won't wave a red flag or march on the city square 

Somewhere between revolution and you, you'll find me there 

If you could only see things my way then you'd know I'm right
