Heartless Bastards - New Resolution lyrics

my new resolution is to be

someone who does not take everything so seriously

I want to laugh and joke and have a smoke

and have a good time

and join an institution that will fuel my mind

whoever said ignorance, oh it was bliss

well, there's something there

that I declare they surely missed

'cause in the days and modern ways

you'll get passed by

try to have some fun

I always want to take it in stride

I was out there

on an open sea

no direction, and no one to lead

and then I looked back in there

how did we get there?

the water was foggy

but I didn't really care

'cause stagnancy makes me drown

and I really want to live

my new resolution is to be

someone who does not care what anyone thinks of me

'cause I don't even like myself half the time

and what's the use in worrying what's on other people's minds?

I was out there

on an open sea

no direction, and no one to lead

and then I looked back in there

how did we get there?

the water was foggy

but I didn't really care

'cause stagnancy makes me drown

and I really want to live
