Where You Come From Lyrics - Mighty Mighty Bosstones

It's not where you come from 

It's more where you're going 

And knowing the going might get strange 

The world's greatest writers 

Are all drunks and fighters 

Get going that isn't going to change 

Will you still wager on the egg? 

Is it the egg or are you chicken? 

There's an outside possibility 

Your life might start to kick in 

Your heart will start the race 

Will you chase or set the pace? 

Brace yourself 

The plot's about to thicken 

It's not where you come from 

It's more where you're going 

And knowing the going might get strange 

The world's greatest writers 

Are all drunks and fighters 

Get going that isn't going to change 

It's been a thousand years or two 

And still the seconds keep on clicking 

Clogging clogs and greasing gears 

Still you can't stop the clock from ticking 

It's time that's overrated 

And being great's become outdated 

The apples, oranges? 

Not worth picking 

It's not where you come from 

It's more where you're going 

And knowing the going might get strange 

The world's greatest writers 

Are all drunks and fighters 

Get going that isn't going to change 

Where is it we're going? 

Who was it who said it? 

Which stones are worth throwing? 

Who will we discredit? 

A pathetic aesthetic 

In a world less poetic 

It's not where you come from 

It's going, go get it 

It's going, go get it 

It's going, go get it 

It's going, go get it
