Lyrics/Song Structure:
======================
---> Play Intro (x2)
---> Play Intro over:
Here I sit in idle envy
T.V. shows still holds me in
Thin steel creases my ???
Begging till the end
---> Play Chorus A over:
And then it hits me
And then I see, then I see
Today my love, we shall let the world slide
For we will never be younger again
---> Play Riff 1
---> Play Riff 2 over:
Well, I'm tired of the waste and the stupid excuses
Sitting on my ass makes me feel useless
Earth accelerate, Hurry up and turn straight
I'm starting to burn
---> Play Riff 1
---> Play Riff 2 over:
Well I get kinda mad like a cornered crawdad
It's time to throw down, too bad so sad
Don't step to me, when things don't go as you planned
No, I don't give a damn
---> Play Chorus B over:
And then it hits me
And then I see, I see
Today my love, we shall let the world slide
We'll never be younger again
---> Play Intro
---> Play Intro over:
It's easier to hurt than heal
Hypocrites they make me ill
Young men yearn to turn the tables
That too is a sin
---> Play Chorus A over:
And then it hits me
And then I see, then I see
Today my love, we shall let the world slide
We'll never be younger again
---> Play Riff 1
---> Play Riff 2 over:
We all look to the end of a certain social stress
I'm down for that day but don't forget the progress
Awakening up, compassion, understanding
Here's to the youth who aren't afraid to put a hand in
---> Play Chorus B over:
And then it hits me
and then I see, I see
Today my love, we shall let the world slide
Away, we'll never fade
---> Play Riff 2 (x2)
---> End on E5 (022xxx)
