what did you leave me?
a century in the land of plenty
now what do you see in me
as we keep roaring through the twenties?

all the good people are taken
there's nothing left to become
everybody else is done
& i can't do any better
i will always be you
i've used up every breakthrough
now there is nothing left for you to do

the inner me is at the gates
i'm so excited, i can't wait

no one is completely on your side
i'll get it right tomorrow
you will reap what i sow
& i refuse to take the blame for this
i swear we did what we could
it didn't do any good
we're all waiting for a second childhood
& anyway nobody told us
& i don't remember being taught
it was too late before we could get started
if there ever was anything to start

the inner me is at the gates
let's take this outside, it's a date
we'll all be dead soon at this rate
i'm so excited, i can't wait
