The Upwards War And Turned Down Cycle
Less Than Jake

All my friends always talk about

The stories of moving on and getting out

Then packing up and heading south

Their heads full of hopes and dreams

They're just like me


My friends aren't going anywhere

My friends all act so unaware

Now that they have to face

Their best plans have all gone up in flames


They're just looking for something to take

To break up the day to day and all its

Loneliness, vacant space

The tragedy of minimum wage


All my friends always talk about

The stories of moving on and getting out

Then packing up and heading south

Their heads full of hopes and dreams

They're just like me


My friends are worried about last calls

And working jobs at shopping malls

Because they're in between

A mixed up pride and apathy

So tonight they'll talk of call in

Calling in with bitter grins

Laughing at the state they're in

What a mess, I'm just like them


All my friends always talk about

The stories of moving on and getting out

Then packing up and heading south

Their heads full of hopes and dreams

They're just like me


So they're sleep walking their way through life

Sitting there and getting by

Like all the other friends of mine

Wishing for something more

Wishing for something more


All my friends always talk about

The stories of moving on and getting out

Then packing up and heading south

Their heads full of hopes and dreams

They're just like me
