Outdone (1989 Demo)

Lyrics

Everything's fine for now, no one's really laughing Everything's just all right, or is it now? Turn up to the round, but keep moving on We can cut the cord now, just drag it along Now there's too many people trying too hard Not to be outdone They follow close behind their proud smoking gun It's up to you and me whether to pay them any mind Some people turn to tomorrow, and some, a bottle of wine Remember back when there could be no wrong? It's different for everyone until it's gone Now there's too many people trying too hard Not to be outdone They follow close behind their proud smoking gun Things are breaking down Not being patched up Think it over again Dreams come and go, but one thing remains In the back of your mind, it won't go away Saying, "Take a look around and tell me everything's just fine From what I can see now, we'd be fools or lying" Now there's too many people trying too hard Not to be outdone They follow close behind their proud smoking gun They say take the leap from the common heap First looking around past the college grounds Were people aware about more than themselves, they'd care
