way to Heaven
            
And I smile at

              
 the passenger

Forty miles fr

Now I’m circli

And there are 

            
bullets flying

              
 into the car
         
It’s the same 

as it’s always

It’s the same

[Chorus]

I don’t think 

that I
        
Would exactly

But it’s dripp

[Verse 4]
            
I want to sing

Of young disen

Save it for a 

rainy day
    
and maybe then

 you’ll see
     
That I am like

 the earth, ol

d man
        
There’s no way

 around me


[Bridge 1]
             
But even in my

 
 dreams
              
I still don’t 


know the diffe

rence between
            
What it is I w

/
ant
    
And what it is

 I need

              
I wanna see yo

     
u be brave
           
   I wanna see

        
 you survi-i-i

I wanna see bo

Prospering and

I want the cat

Something bad’

           
s about to hap

But also knowi

   
ng that I can’

t
           
Do anything ab


out it

             
Because your n

              
ew house just 

      
don’t shine
              
Quite like the

            
 one you grew 

  
up in used to
             
I wanna come a

    
nd visit
            
I wanna see th

t

        
I never will b

ecause you’re
            
Just not what 

  
I need
             
And I am just 

             
not what you w

ant
              
Though you’re 

            
in everyone I 


meet and


[Bridge 2]
             
We’ll say fuck

     
 the banks but

 we’ll still

Use them every

 day
             
And when we fi

              
ght amongst ou

 
rselves
    
The banks will

 say “Okay,


[Outro 2]
              
Have you been 

             
spending all y

    
our capital
            
on causes you 

     
deem just?
             
You keep doing

          
 what you can
              
and we’ll keep

            
 doing what we

 
 must.”

             
So despite wha

           
t you have lea

rned in songs
            
For which you’

You won’t find
