Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We're not strong enough
We're not young enough
We're not alone enough
Or cold enough
Emotionally we're not even old enough
[Verse 2]
Late night we're in a video game dream
There's no lover in this number scene
We summon every childhood ghost we've seen
Then suddenly we hear that Mike Post theme
[Verse 3]
Everything is all right (Bum-de-bum)
We've prayed today (Bum-bum-de-bum)
Everything is okay (Bum-de bum)
We've played today
[Verse 4]
Late night on the underground train
Through endless suburbs in endless pain
Deep in the tunnel under the London rain
Suddenly we hear Mike Post again
[Verse 5]
Everything is all right (Bum-de-bum)
We've prayed today (Bum-bum-de-bum)
If there really is a God (Bum-de-bum)
We should be laid today
[Verse 6]
We watch those films that make men cry
Young lovers kiss then fight and die
We start to yearn, we climb the vine
We have to face the truth sometime
[Verse 7]
We're not strong enough
We're not young enough
We're not alone enough
Or cold enough
Emotionally we're not even old enough
For love
[Verse 8]
For love
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 9]
But late at night we find the racing team
We're faced with women and a reality game
We feel alive, we feel new and blind
We're hearin' Mike Post in the air this time
[Verse 10]
Everything is all right (Bum-de-bum)
We've prayed today (Bum-bum-de-bum)
If there really is a God (Bum-de-bum)
We should get laid today
[Verse 11]
There comes a time in every little punks life
When he has to write a song for his common law wife
We make our women wait, until they wanna scream
We can always whistle that Mike Post theme
[Verse 12]
Everything is all right (bum-de-bum)
We've prayed today (bum-bum-de-bum)
If there really is a God (Bum-de-bum)
We should get laid today
[Verse 13]
We watch those films that make men cry
Young lovers kiss then fight and die
We start to yearn, we climb the vine
We have to face the truth sometime
