Blue Rodeo - Better Off as We Are lyrics
[Blue Rodeo - Better Off as We Are lyrics]
Talked about so many things
Lay on the floor till the morning appeared
You laughed at me and said
I just don't get it
You said we should be making plans
For getting out of here, oh, oh
Somebody told me when I was just a little kid
"Don't follow leaders, think for yourself"
But everybody minds everybody
Else's business here
Why can't they turn their eyes
To somebody else? Oh, oh oh oh oh
Tell me no use thinking
We could ever be something
We could rise with the stars
Better off as we are
My older brother
He left the day he finished school
Moved down to New York to Washington Square
He calls me up and says
"You should come and see me"
Watch the waves of people rolling everywhere
Oh oh oh oh oh tell me no use thinking
We could ever be something
We could rise with the stars
Better off as we are
Late in the evening, I'm up in my room
Trying to think of nothing
Clear away the day
I lie awake and let my body wander
Up into the moonlight floating away, oh oh
Oh oh oh tell me no use thinking
We could ever be something
We could rise with the stars
Better off as we are
