Streetlight Manifesto - One Foot on the Gas, One Foot in the Grave lyrics
[Streetlight Manifesto - One Foot on the Gas, One Foot in the Grave lyrics]
It's in the air you breathe
And it's also in the water
It's something you can't see
You've been warned of by your mothers
You've had enough deceit
You know enough to see join the others
When you could hardly breathe
You were wondering why you bothered
And they gave us seven days
To renounce our wicked ways
Too late to make amends
'cause we both know how this ends
So do the right thing or do nothing
Whoa (What will you do when they come for you?)
Or just do what is easier i say whoa
(What will you do when they come for you?)
That is what I read
What I swear they said to me
Nine times out of ten they lied to me
And after all they had the gall to
Say "No one will save you now" we want it
They got it they claim we'll die without it
But something tells me they are wrong
So what will you do when they call your
Name and you're not ready to go?
Everyone will stare at you and
Tell you what you know
That you're in too deep and you
Can't quite keep your secrets, one and all
We might just make it after all on our own
We might just make it after all
But we had one foot on the gas
And one foot in the grave
Everyone was laughing when we said
We had it made
Everyone was laughing when we said
We had it made
They gave us seven days
To renounce our wicked ways
Too late to make amends
'cause we both know how this ends
Started with six or seven
Moved on to eight or nine
(What will you do when they come for you?)
Nobody seemed to notice
Nobody seemed to mind
(What will you do when they come for you?)
Little miss dismissed can't miss
Like a detuned radio
I cannot believe you when you
Tell me what you know
And nothing will be broken if your
House is made of stone
But, you know as I do it will never be a home
We want it, they got it
They claim we'll die without it
But something tells me they are wrong
So what will you do when they call your
Name and you're not ready to go?
Everyone will stare at you and
Tell you what you know
That you're in too deep and you
Can't quite keep your secrets, one and all
We might just make it after all on our own
We might just make it after all
But we had one foot on the gas
And one foot in the grave
Everyone was laughing when we said
We had it made
Everyone was laughing when we said
We had it made
It's in the air you breathe
And it's also in the water
It's something you can't see
You've been warned of by your mothers
You've had enough deceit
You know enough to see join the others
When you could hardly breathe you
Were wondering why you bothered
Too late to make amends
Because we both know how this ends
So what will you do when they call your
Name and you're not ready to go?
Everyone will stare at you and
Tell you what you know
That you're in too deep and you
Can't quite keep your secrets, one and all
We might just make it after all on our own
We might just make it after all
But we had one foot on the gas
And one foot in the grave
Everyone was laughing when we said
We had it made
Everyone was laughing when we said
We had it made
And it's also in the water
It's something you can't see
You've been warned of by your mothers
You've had enough deceit
You know enough to see join the others
