Album : A New Morning, Changing Weather (2001)





last century promised so much, but look at us now when we are all grown up

last century promised so much, but all our heroes are dead or corrupt

last century promised so much, but our roles have all become outdated

last century promised so much, and our thoughts are all second rated

as radical as we want to be, no shame or anxiety in our dreams

playing the part of selling discontent but we are as real as we are going to get

last century promised so much, like cheap salvation through rock'n'roll

last century promised so much, a million new ways to save our little souls

last century promised so much, but we are still waiting for some kind of reward

last century promised so much, but here we are unsatisfied and bored

but what did become of us, a borrowed intellect and a stolen pose

dismantling the power with the rules it sets but we are as real as it's going to get

we destroy ourselves every night with the intention of salvation in sight

we know that this is all that you want to see, cause we are as real as real can be

we know that it feels like fucking fake, and how much more of this can we take

we know that this is all that you want to see, cause essence is nowhere and nothing is real

as radical as we want to be, no shame or anxiety in our dreams

playing the part of selling discontent but we are as real as we are going to get

and what did become of us, a borrowed intellect and a stolen pose

dismantling the power with the rules it sets but we are as real as it's going to get
