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
