Give up pills, and you may as well be crazy   Give up caffeine, and the story's all the same   Give up beer, and you may as well be drunk   Give up sex, and you may as well be fucked      So is the story of everything in life   I'll tell you first hand, I'm not wrong   Wait until you've grown, you'll see it my way   And it'll sum up the meaning of the song      Learn to cope, and you may as well surrender   Learn to share, and they take it all the same   Learn to live, and you may as well die   Learn to see, and you may as well be blind      So is the story of everything in life   I'll tell you first hand, I'm not wrong   Wait until you've grown, you'll see it my way   And it'll sum up the meaning of the song      You'll be in a freefall looking down   On dreams you'll never see   You'll be lost up in the blue   Looking down at the trees   Through a hazy mist of clouds   That just never seem to clear   You can try, and close your eyes   But it's into the ground from here      Give up pills, and you may as well be crazy   Give up caffeine, and the story's all the same   Give up beer, and you may as well be drunk   Give up sex, and you may as well be fucked   Learn to cope, and you may as well surrender   Learn to share, and they take it all the same   Learn to live, and you may as well die   Learn to see, and you may as well be blind      So is the story of everything in life   I'll tell you first hand, I'm not wrong   Wait until you've grown, you'll see it my way   And it'll sum up the meaning of the song   So is the story of everything in life   I'll tell you first hand, I'm not wrong   Wait until you've grown, you'll see it my way   And it'll sum up the meaning of the song      You'll be in a freefall looking down   On dreams you'll never see   You'll be lost up in the blue   Looking down at the trees   Through a hazy mist of clouds   That just never seem to clear   You can try, and close your eyes   But it's into the ground from here      You'll be in a freefall looking down   On dreams you'll never see   You'll be lost up in the blue   Looking down at the trees   Through a hazy mist of clouds   That just never seem to clear   You can try, and close your eyes   But it's into the ground from here      [repeat through fade]
