Had enough?
Take all you ever wanted
It's your very last time around
Send a letter to your brother
And he'll be there when you hit the ground
If you followed your statements to their logical conclusions
Or you knew what you were doing at all
You'd be an oh so much more formidable opponent
Standing straight, standing tall
Come down from your room
The car is waiting and I'll meet you in the hall
Losing time but you're a friend of mine
And we could be flying but you'd rather crawl
You fell out
Of favor with all your friends
But I believe you let them go
And this is not where the story ends
The rest is buried deep below
Back on the farm
Back to the land
You'll work for a living now
And your fate
Will return back to your own hands
We'll get you out somehow
Come down from your room
The car is waiting and I'll meet you in the hall
Losing time but you're a friend of mine
And we could be flying but you'd rather crawl
