If we don't

If we don't

If we don't

If we don't

If we don't

If we don't

If we don't

If we don't

If we don't

If we don't...

If we don't kill ourselves

We'll be the leaders of a messed-up generation

If we don't kid ourselves will

They believe us if we tell them the reasons why

Did we take it too far, take it too far?

Did we chase the rabbit into wonderland

Lose a hundred grand, will they understand

It was all to stay awake for the longest

March on, always after us

Lost troops, half the class of us

You might not see the last of us

Stick around yeh like Elastoplast

Not half mast

Raise our flag, kick the sand

To let you know that we're coming

And we're nasty man

Don't need sleeping beauty

No, It's what you did to me

Come midnight and daybreak

Yes please go find me a namesake

We got firm faith, but don't need bibles

Take the michael

Hear my recital while I hold the title

Quite vital

We get high on the opposite of Nytol

It was all to stay awake for the longest time

It was long, it was wrong

But it felt so right

See you at the finish line

See you at the finish line

If you got the heart to join us

If we don't kill ourselves

We'll be the leaders of a messed-up generation

If we don't kid ourselves will

They believe us if we tell them the reasons why

Did we take it too far, take it too far?

Did we chase the rabbit into wonderland

Lose a hundred grand, will they understand

It was all to stay awake for the longest

March on, always after us

Lost troops, half the class of us

You might not see the last of us

Stick aroundyeh like Elastoplast

Not half mast

Raise our flag, kick the sand

To let you know that we're coming

And we're nasty man

Don't need sleeping beauty

No, It's what you did to me

Come midnight and daybreak

Yes please go find me a namesake

We got firm faith, but don't need bibles

Take the michael

Hear my recital while I hold the title

Quite vital

We get high on the opposite of Nytol

We just grow, if it's late

Then we'll show, read and wait

We just grow, if you hate

We don't show, we don't wait

We just grow, if it's late

Then we'll show, read and wait

We just grow

If we don't kill ourselves

We'll be the leaders of a messed-up generation

If we don't kid ourselves will

They believe us if we tell them the reasons why

Did we take it too far, take it too far?

Did we chase the rabbit into wonderland

Lose a hundred grand, will they understand

It was all to stay awake for the longest
