Naked Raygun - Entrapment lyrics

You appear stage left all searching
For your plan of life
Youth of course on your side as
They play the drum and fife
Tryin' to get you marching to the
Worn out song they preach
About how things you hope for are
So very out of reach

Can't they even remember when they had hopes
And dreams?

Adolescence fled the adolescents
Sang while you - you had no chance
Then before you even knew your wife she got
In line to be your first romance
In the sunset of your best years
You piled on the debt
You think this can't be happening here
- not here, not now, not yet

You're gonna regret this it's your big fall

Well OK - life's not what it used to be
We're tryin' to become something that
Maybe wasn't meant to be
We're now so totally up for grabs -
I hope someone's left to see
Will the end justify the means? Well
It beats the heck outta me

In the next round what will we be?
