Yet again we're the only ones No surprise, this is often how it's done Lately it's about all I can take I will move and mend and mold this break Shell with another crack I'm small but I can keep track Too soon, everyone just step away I'm sure this isn't the last play Take it all in stride Speak, don't confide We barely had a case It's done before we try Stop and end by night A desert in your face Take score, even playing fields this game I know when all's said we're the same If I could I would leave it all be No chance to move backwards and see Take it all in stride Speak, don't confide We barely had a case It's done before we try Stop and end by night A desert in your face Take it all in stride Speak, don't confide We barely had a case It's done before we try Stop and end by night A desert in your face
