Lyrics/Song Structure:

======================

---> Play Intro (x2)

---> Play Intro over:

Here I sit in idle envy

T.V. shows still holds me in

Thin steel creases my ???

Begging till the end

---> Play Chorus A over:

And then it hits me

And then I see, then I see

Today my love, we shall let the world slide

For we will never be younger again

---> Play Riff 1

---> Play Riff 2 over:

Well, I'm tired of the waste and the stupid excuses

Sitting on my ass makes me feel useless

Earth accelerate, Hurry up and turn straight

I'm starting to burn

---> Play Riff 1

---> Play Riff 2 over:

Well I get kinda mad like a cornered crawdad

It's time to throw down, too bad so sad

Don't step to me, when things don't go as you planned

No, I don't give a damn

---> Play Chorus B over:

And then it hits me

And then I see, I see

Today my love, we shall let the world slide

We'll never be younger again

---> Play Intro

---> Play Intro over:

It's easier to hurt than heal

Hypocrites they make me ill

Young men yearn to turn the tables

That too is a sin

---> Play Chorus A over:

And then it hits me

And then I see, then I see

Today my love, we shall let the world slide

We'll never be younger again

---> Play Riff 1

---> Play Riff 2 over:

We all look to the end of a certain social stress

I'm down for that day but don't forget the progress

Awakening up, compassion, understanding

Here's to the youth who aren't afraid to put a hand in

---> Play Chorus B over:

And then it hits me

and then I see, I see

Today my love, we shall let the world slide

Away, we'll never fade

---> Play Riff 2 (x2)

---> End on E5 (022xxx)
