Blue Rodeo - Better Off As We Are lyrics

We sat around at night and talked about so many things <br />

Lay on the floor till the morning appeared <br />

You laughed at me and said I just don't get it <br />

You said we should be making plans for getting out of here <br />

<br />

Somebody told me when I was just a little kid<br />

Don't follow leaders just think for yourself <br />

But everybody minds everybody else's business here <br />

Why can't they turn their eyes to somebody else <br />

<br />

Tell me no use thinking <br />

We could ever be something <br />

We could rise with the stars <br />

Better off as we are <br />

<br />

My older brother he left the day he finished school <br />

Moved down to New York to Washington Square <br />

He calls me up and says you should come and see me <br />

Watch the waves of people rolling everywhere <br />

<br />

Tell me no use thinking <br />

We could ever be something <br />

We could rise with the stars <br />

Better off as we are <br />

<br />

Late in the evening I'm up in my room <br />

Trying to think of nothing clear away the day <br />

I lie awake and let my body wander <br />

Up into the moonlight floating away <br />

<br />

Tell me no use thinking <br />

We could ever be something <br />

We could rise with the stars <br />

Better off as we are
