You Never Know

Come on children, you’re acting like children
Every generation thinks it’s the end of the world
All you fat followers get fit fast
Every generation thinks it’s the last
Thinks it’s the end of the world

It’s a dream down a well
It’s a long, heavy hell
I don’t care anymore, I don’t care anymore
It’s a fear we transcend, if we’re here at the end
I don’t care anymore, I don’t care anymore
You never know

Come on kids, you’re acting like children
Act your age
Get back to black metal and pearls
All you sword swallowers, pull yourselves together
Every generation thinks it’s the worst
Thinks it’s the end of the world

It’s a secret I can’t tell
It’s a wish down a well
I don’t care anymore, I don’t care anymore
It’s a long heavy hell
Synthesizer Patell
I don’t care anymore, I don’t care anymore
But you never know
You never know

I don’t care anymore, I don’t care anymore
It’s a secret I can’t tell
It’s a wish down a well
I don’t care anymore, I don’t care anymore
It’s a fear to transcend if we’re here at the end
I don’t care anymore, I don’t care anymore
I don’t care anymore, I don’t care anymore
But you never know
You never know

Unlikely Japan

Impossible Germany
Unlikely Japan
Wherever we go
Wherever we land

I can't say what this means to me
I don't begin to understand
I know you're not listening
Impossible Germany
Unlikely Japan

Handheld recorders monotone
Your peach-colored pay phone
Connected to you

I can't say what this means to me
I don't begin to understand
I know you're not listening
Impossible Germany
Unlikely Japan

I don't know why she talks so tough
A roller skate would suggest her enough

I can't say what this means to me
I don't begin to understand
I know you're not listening
Impossible Germany
Unlikely Japan
