Al's War Lyrics - Pez Collection - Less Than Jake

Al said goodbye to his mom and dad 

For the first time in his life 

Tonight he left the house and walked 

To the waiting car outside 

And somehow he thought they'd never understand 

That nothing lasts and he just knows 

That time is just spinning by 

And life is passing him by so fast 

And sometimes I think, I'm the only one 

Who feels like going nowhere is like giving up 

Sometimes I think, I'm the only one 

Who feels like going 

Al said to me a few days ago 

That he just thought for the first time in his life 

He feels that the last few years 

Were only a waste of time 

(Only a waste of time) 

And that it was always a compromise 

Of what he always felt inside 

His declaration 

Under the orange street lights 

And sometimes I think, I'm the only one 

Who feels like going nowhere is like giving up 

Sometimes I think, I'm the only one 

Who feels like going, yeah 

He was the one who always did the right things 

He was the one who always listened 

To everything they'd say 

But today he's never going back, oh, oh, oh 

And nobody said 

That there would be days like these 

There'd be days like these 

There'd be days 

And sometimes I think, I'm the only one 

Who feels like going nowhere is like giving up 

Sometimes I think, I'm the only one 

Who feels like going nowhere is like giving up 

Whoa, like giving up 

Whoa, like giving up 

Whoa, I'm not giving up, whoa
