Lyrics
Sideways
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
All your wildest dreams will never come true
You're only gonna be what people say
When you find a place that you can run to
You're happy even standing in the rain
Even when they cut us from the sunlight
I won't be the one to lose my face
When you find a place that you can run to
You can light the fog from grey
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know what I want
I don't, I don't need no one to tell me when to stop
Aye, they say: Come out and play
Run this to the lyrics in this song on sideways
They take everything away
Look at how we're living in this small world these days
I don't like the system now we need to run they
Rallies, all my sisters had to lead the necessity
They say: Come out and play
Run this to the lyrics in this song on sideways
All the while you're sleeping with the wrong crew
Ticking boxes in the database
Lying through your teeth, you never want truth
Never leave a goddamn trace
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know what I want
I don't, I don't need no one to tell me when to stop
Aye, they say: Come out and play
Run this to the lyrics in this song on sideways
They take everything away
Look at how we're living in this small world these days
I don't like the system now we need to run they
Rallies all my sister had to the necessity
They say: Come out and play
Run this to the lyrics in this song on sideways
Eye for one, the one who lost them knees and told my kids the stakes
Break the rules and go smash some records
Make them learn your name
Even when they say you can't, you know your gang is can
Break some hearts, we spread the love and be big in Japan
Fuck the beaf, slow go, take some risks
Embrace the misfit
Rock and roll, don't leave your biscuits
Look, go and change them-
Even if the leader if your generation messed up
Run the world
Down your drink, smile a bit
Then rest up
They say: Come out and play
Run this to the lyrics in this song on sideways
They take everything away
Look at how we're leaving in this small world these days
I don't like the system now we need to run they
Rallies, all my sisters had to lead the necessity
They say: Come out and play
Run this to the lyrics in this song on sideways
