I was born on the day after Kurt Cobain died
But I still remember 9/11
I was scared and confused
Watching my Mom cry at the News
Thinking, 'what happened and why
Is she so sad?'
I think I knew things would never be the same
We rode our bikes in the woods
They tore down to build more houses
But the market crashed
And there's nothing there today
We got mad so we stole
All the stakes they stuck in the ground
And pretended they were swords so we could fight
But still, I knew things would never be the same
All my life, I've been waiting to begin
Living in the world that this one's been "becoming"
But the optimism fades more and more each passing day
I think I'd settle for just barely getting by
As a child, I believed
That life was a suburban dream
But time has gone and taught me otherwise
Now the things that I see
They are violent and obscene
And we all just ignore each other's pain
And I'm afraid things could always be the same
All my life, I've been waiting to begin
Living in the world that this one's been "becoming"
But the optimism fades more and more each passing day
I think I'd settle for just barely getting by
No, I wasn't raised like this
To be a pessimist
No, I wasn't raised to just scrape through and die
No, I wasn't raised like this
So I jump and pound my fist
No, I wasn't raised to quit without a fight
All my life, I've been waiting to begin
Living in the world that this one sure ain't "becoming"
But though the optimism fades, something stronger will remain
And I won't settle for just barely getting by
I won't settle for just barely getting by

People let me tell you
I've been down for way too long
But it won't last much longer now
Not since my baby come along
Yeah. she walked into my life
And I knew I had to make her mine
So I said 'come on pretty darling,
Girl, let me show you a good time'
You make me feel good and right
You make me feel out of sight
So come on baby
Let me make you feel the same
You have brought me back to life
So I'm gonna dance tonight
So come on darling
Come on and dance with me
My baby don't need money
To stay happy all the time
All she wants is honest loving
And I know that she'll be fine
She tells me not to worry
'Cause it don't change a damn thing
So I stay high on good believing
'Cause that's the only thing I need
You make me feel good and right
You make me feel out of sight
So come on baby
Let me make you feel the same
You have brought me back to life
So I'm gonna dance tonight
So come on darling
Come on and dance with me
