I commit myself to sabotage
See, I can get what I want, then I'll make it hard to hold on
Convince myself that I'm without a god
A spiritual fraud who got lost in her own sad song
We've been talking outback by the garbage cans
About dreams that we had and the five-year plan
Missing the mark, we're laughing in the dark
'Cause after all, no one's in control
Go easy, kid, it's only rock and roll
Pledge allegiance to some sanity
It comes into view for a moment or two, then it leaves me
Apologizing to the neighborhood
And all the calls will be saved, look, I'd wanna be brave if I could
I was talking outback with an empty man, he said
"Remember times that we had before you got in that way?"
Left me in the dark, alone in the park
'Cause after all, no one's in control
Go easy, kid, it's only rock and roll
Cut through the smoke
There's no secret special code
No deeper hidden wisdom
Just accept we'll never know
We've been talking outback by the garbage cans
'Bout dreams that we had and the five-year plan
Missing the mark, we're laughing in the dark
'Cause after all, no one's in control
Go easy, kid
In twenty years, kid, you're gonna look back
And wish you grabbed it all by the throat
And said, "Fuck it, it's only rock and roll"
