We Shall Not Overcome

歌詞

The bands I like they don't sell too many records And the girls I like they don't kiss too many boys And the books I read will never be best sellers Yeah, but come on fellas, at least we made our choice Hey, hey, hey, hey What do we want and when do we want it? And how would we feel if we knew we were never gonna get it? And where did we start from and where are we going? Can anyone here say with any certainty that they know what they're doing? Ever feel like an awkward understudy thrown into a cast Where you just don't get along? All the crowd and the crew are standing silent staring And you can't shake the feeling that somehow, you're doing it wrong So what do we want? Mum and dad always seemed like they had a plan Everything fell apart when mum moved on, and now dad's a broken man And all these decisions, they keep getting made I can't remember making them and nobody wants to explain We're all awkward understudies wearing comfortable shoes Getting comfortable with doing it wrong We missed the dress rehearsals and we had too much to drink before the show But now it's showtime so let's sing it out strong The bands I like they don't sell too many records And the girls I like they don't kiss too many boys And the books I read will never be best sellers Yeah, but come on fellas, at least we made our choice The bands I like they don't sell too many records And the girls I like they don't kiss too many boys And the books I read will never be best sellers Yeah, but come on fellas, at least we made our choice Be a fan of every band who ever made you want to move your feet Fall in love with every person who ever makes your heart want to skip a beat So come on, come on come on, what do we want? We shall not overcome We shall underwhelm Hey, hey 'Cause the lives we lead might not be so very perfect And the plans we make might not serve some final purpose But the hearts we heed, they still beat the way they used to So if we're doing it wrong, well, what are you going to do? What do we want?
