Less Than Jake - Al's War lyrics

Al said goodbye to his mam and dad<br>For the first time in his life<br>Tonight left the house and walked out to<br>The waiting car outside and<br>Somehow he thought they'd never understand<br>That nothing lasts and he just knows<br>That time is juat spinning by<br>And life is passing him by so fast<br><br>And sometimes I think I'm the only one<br>That feels like going nowhere is like giving up<br><br>Al said to me a few days<br>Ago that he just<br>Thought for the first time in his life<br>He feels the last 10 years were only<br>A waste of time and that it was<br>Only a compromise of what he<br>Always felt inside<br>His declaration of independence said to me<br>Under the orange street lights<br><br>He was the one who always<br>Did the right thing<br>He was the one that listened to<br>Everything they'd say<br>But today he's never going back
