Seconds Out

I guess you have to laugh, it falls away so fast,
I've taken all I can, no way, no way.
It's not a joke no more, scream out and punch the wall,
please mar don't cut the cord, no way, no way.

Come join the tribal dance, we've got a war to plan,
There goes the action man, don't wait, don't wait.

Watching the same show again and again,
it's all so familiar I'm numb to the pain.
Now here comes the hero and everyone's safe,
In the land of the free and the home of the brave.

You know what, we are seconds out
the shows about to end. The troops are on display.
You know what, we are seconds out
my dear let's not pretend, can't close your eyes
and wish at all away.

Come join the tribal dance, come fight in foreign lands.
Come prove that you're a man, don't wait, don't wait.

It's not a joke no more, you're shaken to the core.
Just want you fighting for? no way, no way.

Watching the same show again and again,
it's all so familiar I'm numb to the pain.
Now here comes the hero and everyone's safe,
In the land of the free and the home of the brave.

You know what, we are seconds out
the shows about to end. The troops are on display.
You know what, we are seconds out
my dear let's not pretend, can't close your eyes
and wish at all away.
