Further North

Well, we all wanna see a great empire

Cut down in its prime

See its fruit die on the vine

In prime time color time

And there are millions in this world

That mercy will not touch

But they don't mind that much

'Cause that's the way life's always been

But you don't wanna hear 'bout that from me

I know, I know my place

And God knows I don't belong

Singing a worthless freedom song

It's all a waste of time

It's all a waste of time

The pretty girl who lives next door

She don't know how to lie

When I look into her eyes

I can see the day I'm gonna die

All that water flows from the cracks and holes

In the silver reservoir

Where you're never truly far

From someone who's exactly like you

It's all a waste of time

It's all a waste of time

Rock 'n' roll makes me feel guilty

I got no defense

My sadness makes no sense

I'm gettin' rich and I'm makin' new friends

All I've found is it gets colder

Further north you go

It's pissin' rain and snow

It's the world I don't want to know

It's all a waste of time

It's all a waste of time

You take it from me

You leave it behind

Ah, you take it from me

You leave it behind

Ah, you take it from me

You leave it behind
