Outdone (1989 Demo)

Everything's fine for now, no one's really laughing

Everything's just all right, or is it now?

Turn up to the round, but keep moving on

We can cut the cord now, just drag it along

Now there's too many people trying too hard

Not to be outdone

They follow close behind their proud smoking gun

It's up to you and me whether to pay them any mind

Some people turn to tomorrow, and some, a bottle of wine

Remember back when there could be no wrong?

It's different for everyone until it's gone

Now there's too many people trying too hard

Not to be outdone

They follow close behind their proud smoking gun

Things are breaking down

Not being patched up

Think it over again

Dreams come and go, but one thing remains

In the back of your mind, it won't go away

Saying, "Take a look around and tell me everything's just fine

From what I can see now, we'd be fools or lying"

Now there's too many people trying too hard

Not to be outdone

They follow close behind their proud smoking gun

They say take the leap from the common heap

First looking around past the college grounds

Were people aware about more than themselves, they'd care
