The Like (Band) - Under The Paving Stones lyrics

Somewhere was a different kind of time
Where children weren't too bored
To lose their lives for change and loss
And star-crossed love and lies
But who today can find that kind of time?

'Cause nothing's still so urgent to inspire
A person to regain that kind of fire

And hey haven't you heard?
You have the right to make a move
You've everything to gain
And only nothing left to lose
Haven't you heard?
It's up to everyone to prove
A leader only leads when no one
Else knows what to do

I had always thought it was a crime
To still own slaves within such modern times
But who am I to question such a life
When I still hold my own place in the line?

What could make a person wish to fight
When dazzling lights have
Overwhelmed his sight?

And hey haven't you heard?
You have the right to make a move
You've everything to gain
And only nothing left to lose
Haven't you heard?
It's up to everyone to prove
A leader only leads when no one
Else knows what to do

La, la, la la, la la la la, la la la la la
La, la, la la, la la la la, la la la la la

Somewhere there's a different kind of time
Where children weren't too bored
To lose their lives for change and loss
And star-crossed love and lies
But who today can find that kind of time?

'Cause nothing's still so urgent to inspire
A person to reclaim that kind of fire

And hey haven't you heard?
You have the right to make a move
You've everything to gain
And only boredom left to lose
Haven't you heard?
It's up to everyone to prove
A leader only leads when no one
Else knows what to do
